A small brown marmot with a white spot on its forehead, nose and chest sits on its butt and looks away. It is on the left side of the photo and looks to the right. It is surrounded by plants and rocks. Some plants have green foliage, others are red. The marmot is in focus, the rest of the photo is blurry. The marmot looks contemplative.

Western sandpiper foraging at low tide last week on Vancouver Island.
I love sandpipers, they are interesting to photograph as I have to anticipate which way they're going and they move fast, stop, run, stop...

A shore bird with a white belly and chicks, a long black beak and long legs. Its back is a patchwork of light and dark brown markings. Its eyes are black. The photo is taken at ground level. The bird is on a patch of small grey pebbles and there is kelp around.
