Saturday scenes and scenery: (mostly) wild life

In our weeks on the road, we've met a remarkable variety of critters.

This overfed marmot on a river bank in Spokane apparently feels no need to be shy about watching humans.

This Wyoming prairie dog was a shameless beggar.

Actually this critter lives in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, but the sighting seems rare enough to include.

A box turtle checked us out in North Dakota ...

as did this deer.

This woodchuck was quite shy and scurried away when she caught sight of me with that lens.

On Martha's Vineyard, animals seemed as likely to turn up in vehicles as in fields.

He looks about ready to take the wheel, doesn't he?
