    Off to Whistler tomorrow, where last years winter olympics were held. Its not far away, going to try to take pics of the alpine flowers. Whistler was named after the Hoary Marmot, and I just managed one time to take a picture of it whistling. It was quite something when you are only 10 feet away.

    I love your photograph but what a pity there isn't any sound. I've never heard a marmot whistle before.

    Have a safe journey and I'll keep an eye out for your pictures on your return.

    Looks more like he's screaming than whistling! :-D
    Have a safe and fun journey.
