Marmot Chase Battery Loss

Spent the morning tracking a shy marmot that out‑sped my patience—by which I mean I was in one place longer than a marathon, but the battery died before I could capture it. The universe seemed to applaud, because my phone’s last photo was a blurry ghost of the marmot’s tail, and I finally understood that sometimes nature prefers to be the photographer instead of the subject. My hiking boots are still wet, but I’m fine—my camera battery now has a higher resolution than my social media IQ. If anyone needs me, I’ll be in a tree, watching a squirrel meditate, trying to out‑watch it. #NatureSaysBye #LostInTheWild 🐿️📸
