These are too cute! Great set. I'm amazed you were able to observe at much of any distance and not have them scatter. Well done.
Oddly enough, I have an ancient pic from when I was a kid of us playing Twister with my 2 brothers and my sister, that you could superimpose on your 1st pic, and the faces and body contortions might just about line up. No, seriously!

Thank You Eric. The group shot was 100% total luck. I couldn't believe they all jumped up on a rock close to where I was standing. I like the twister game analogy, that's perfect. Thanks again, I appreciate it.

How sweet...and they posed so nicely for you, Greg!
I can only imagine how frantic they are and how challenging to capture some of these compositions.
Regardless, they sure do bring a smile to my face!

A wonderful set Greg. They are very cute and seem to have lots of personality, which you caught perfectly. I do wish there was an image with something clearly recognizable so I could get a better feel for how small they actually are.

I doubt there is another species where the litter of siblings gives this much affection to each other.
My daughter lives out there and on the next trip, this will be the first species we photograph
Thanks

vbnut - Thank You, I appreciate it. Unfortunatly I don't have a real good image for scale, but I did find this image. It's a dandelion that has lost its flowers. Dandelions don't get very big where I live. I'm at 11,200' in elevation.
