Groundhog Morning

As I Walked into the yard from behind my garden I spotted a groundhog . . .

. . . just as it spotted me.

This groundhog's home was right in front of where I stood - very still clicking away.

I remained still though it seemed like the groundhog was running straight at me . . . 

I'm glad this wasn't a grizzly.

It just kept getting closer.

A quick stop to check make a decision. Did he really want me to see the entrance to his home?

That board board you see here is helping to support a log cabin stacked up and stored for rebuilding. A future log home evidently makes a good cover for a groundhog hole.

Our groundhog decides to hang around the front porch to watch me awhile before going underground.

Now,  from this more natural meeting of a groundhog to a less natural but VERY cute encounter.  Yes, I know it isn't a good idea to feed groundhogs in your yard, but I'm very glad my Aunt Judy does it.   
And finally, here is a teaser for the future (perhaps) video

This blog entry was supposed to end with a video but I am having too much trouble uploading it from my Mac. I've been trying since 8:00 this morning. Check back in the morning to see if it is here.
