Pika

Pika caught doing his scream on ascent of Redoubt Mountain, August 5, 2006, Skoki Region, Banff National Park. Actually he was eating grass and we were having a conversation....as I got my camera out, his wife came out of her hole and starting screaming bloody murder. An interesting observation, however not surprising, was that he was as fat as they come and she was quite skinny, putting me under the assumption she still had a litter. I contribute quite a few pika photos to folks that research these unique creatures.

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know."" --Rene Daumal
