My pika and I are looking back at our week with great disappointment at how little we’ve accomplished. Kidding: pikas are incapable of self-loathing. 😜 Drawn with charcoal.
There was a place north of Squamish where there was a slope of small, medium and large rocks. It was always a thrill to see them hang out on top of a rock for a wee while. I am quite “appointed” with your drawings this week. They were all very “appointing” 😉 .
Hahaha! We have yet to see a pika in the mountainous areas of B.C. Gosh, Squamish…haven’t been there since probably 1991. We hiked the Chief and when we got back to the rental car, we discovered someone had broken into it. Fun times. 😉 Hadn’t been back since…but may have to go to see some pikas!
They’re a higher elevation species and I’m pretty sure they’re all over the Rockies, so I hope you’ll see some this summer! Luckily, we had what little valuable with us locked in the trunk and they didn’t get to it. But, we had to deal with filing a police report and also getting a new car with the rental place (we were there visiting my family).
Oh. Drag. I guess they damaged the car? I was with a friend once and when we got back to the car we were a bit confused that the doors were unlocked. There was a huge mess in the two front seats and the trunk was empty (we had rock climbing gear in the back). But the car was unharmed.
Ugh…sorry you lost your gear. 😦 Yeah, they broke the driver’s side window to get in but the trunk had a separate lock, luckily and they couldn’t get in.
I love your critters, Teresa. So sweet, and I just want to pick them up and hold them. Shelter them from the world. ❤

Thanks, Jacob! Luckily, the pika was not disapproving of my slacking off; it just didn’t care if it was slacking off. LOL!

We need to adopt some pika Zen! 😀 They are really so round and fuzzy, and huggable looking (though I don’t recommend hugging them…hahaha)!

Slacking is a good thing, maybe pika and you needed a break. But what an adorable little critter, big accomplishment. Goodness takes time.

That sure wrecks a day of fun! Did they steal much?
I’ve read there are pikas in the Alberta Rockies. Maybe I can find some this summer.

Oh, I just read that they like to hang out in rock slides. And now it makes sense that I used to see that in Cheakamus Canyon.
