Cute Collared Pika

From my second visit to Alaska I got to spend time with this adorable Collared Pika. We knew this one was in the rocks near us but it kept popping up in the wrong spot. Finally it climbed out right in front of us in wonderfully soft and beautiful light. It posed so nicely atop this lichen covered rock and sat just long enough for me to compose the image I wanted before it was back down in the rock crevices not to be seen out in the open again that outing.
