<zookeeper> "Oh, yeah we have lots of #marmots here"

M'am, that's a Columbia ground #squirrel, rather well-known as one of the "ah, we're in #BC" #animals. Which is apt, as that's where we are right now.

Despite all the grim headlines, nice to see a good news story in our back yard.

On November 14, I will have the pleasure to meet members of the Alpine Club of Canada in Saanich and talk about my experience photographing the Vancouver Island marmot for my book. This is the rarest mammal in Canada. To learn more and support the recovery efforts, please visit the Vancouver Island Marmot Recovery Foundation: https://marmots.org/

The magical musk marmots have their magic aura. Unfortunately, the paper I used turns out, after some testing on a separate sheet, to Not Respond Well to watercolor.
Gonna have to scan and color it digitally, which is nervous making. I’m way more confident with watercolor than digital. Can’t be helped.

Magical Musk Marmots are a go! They’re surprisingly photogenic critters. I think they’ll be a great cover, you know, after a bit more work and fixing where I smudged the ink as I worked.
Just gotta add some magical sparkles and whatnot. 😁 #dailyphoto #myart #sketching #marmots

Any Vancouver Island Marmots that venture out of their dens today (because the snow is gone!) are unlikely to see their shadow but honestly, a little more winter would probably be a good thing! #PortAlberni #GroundHogDay #Winter #Snow #Marmots #VancouverIsland

Today would have been more fun if:

(A) Someone had handed me a marmot

and

(B) I hadn't spilled an entire Jamaican ginger beer on my desk

As we approach #GroundhogDay, please remember that #marmots are fierce creatures that must be respected.
