Those pika's are so much cuter when they're not in the mouth of a weasel! That was such a horrible site. :-( You're becoming a real expert at taking those moon shots. Very nice!

How lucky to see a pika! I just love those little ones, I have only seen two of them, they are really so sweet and cute. Elba & moon lakes are so blue. Beautiful pictures!
