A pikas work is never done. They live high on the alpine tundra and do not hibernate. They spend the short summer months constantly harvesting grasses. They use these grasses to turn into hay and live off of during the long brutal winter. It's pretty crazy to watch these little guys. Working literally all day. Running from the rocks to the grass, taking these bundles of grass to their winter storage spot. They are not that easy to get a photo of though. Pika are tiny, fast and very skittish. I sat still on a rock for about an hour and a half before I captured this one.

American Pika - Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado

I'm not a huge fan of photography, and some times I feel like un-watching some of the photography majors in my list, like yourself, but it's small captured bits of life like this one, and your wonderful landscapes that keep me interested. You can't win them all, but you've won me. Amazing work!
