“While hiking with family near Logan Pass at Glacier National Park, we were entertained by the Columbian ground squirrels chirping at us and scurrying around the wildflowers like they were late for work,” says photographer Jerry Jackson. “These high-altitude squirrels hibernate up to eight months of the year, which may explain their hurried behavior as they gather food. This particular squirrel, however, seemed to be in no rush at all. It would meticulously smell each flower head before deciding whether or not it was worthy of being eaten. It was a good reminder for us to take time to enjoy the vacation while it lasted.”

Nikon D500, AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR. Exposure: 1/1000 sec., ƒ/5.6, ISO 400.
