Viewing all your beautiful scenic mountain images I have never once thought about you sharing space with these guys even though I know it's their habitat. I hope he wakes before winter or he's gonna have one very sore toosh by spring :>)))

Wasn't that fun, watching Smoky snoozing up in that tree? :) I like yours as it shows his nose un the air...must've been snoring.
Maybe we can catch him awake next time.
