| Ground Squirrels are curious creatures. |

| This little chipmunk had it all. I discovered it early in the morning, nestled on a rock face in a cluster of gorgeous flowers, munching away on its breakfast. |
Hope you enjoy the photos. I enjoy my bike rides up in Myra Canyon so very much. When I am up there, I never want to leave. I encounter much wild life. The creatures are overly friendly too: chipmunks will come right up and take food from one’s hand. I have felt the presence of a cougar in the area once but so far my only big mammal sighting has been a lone black bear–very slick, black and healthy looking (above). With cougars, they are so secretive, you never see one unless they are on top of you, so I rely on my instincts, I can feel it when one is watching. Twice in my life, while hiking, I knew I was being seriously watched.
