I noticed this little guy(gal?) out in our front yard a few days ago. Kinda cute. Nice stripes.
Very busy.
"Did you see what I think I saw?"
"Oh, hi!"
"Okay, bye!"
"Bet you can't see me now!"
For those of you wondering... no, I didn't. ;)
And for anyone not familiar with these little critters, we call them striped gophers. They are also known by quite a few other names, according to Wikipedia.

Gotta ask: what is that?
Oh, sorry... I thought everybody knows what they are. We call them striped gophers, but Wikipedia has lots of names for them, which I didn't know before!

(It wouldn't let me copy them with my iPad.)
I know you didn't but I know you thought about it!
Ha, my first thought was "Did you...?" He's cute. I like him.
Actually, I don't think I even considered it. Didn't give it a thought until Grandpa said, "Did you...?" I was just enjoying the 'photo' shoot. :)
Mark, you were up awfully early for someone who's "relaxing". ;)
Ah. Striped gophers! Never seen one before. Cute. In photos anyway...
You caught some good stuff again.
I like the one with the black birds looking at the gopher.
