Chippy


Today was a rainy, gray day and the
yard was alive with birds and critters.
As I opened the door of the studio to
walk back to the house, I jumped as
all the wildlife suddenly scattered in
all directions.
This chipmunk also took off, but didn't
go far. I became very still with my camera
and the chipmunk would stand up to survey.
It nearly ran into me while I was looking
through the lens for there was a delay!

chipmunks are just about the cutest little rodents ever, and this is a great picture of one!

quiltcat, thanks....ever since I was a child I have loved chipmunks. This one just made me smile. I could tell he or she is very young and we nearly collided later in the day, too.

What a cutie! My parents used to have one that was somewhat tame and would beg for peanuts.

Hi Marnie and Judy,
That really is an adorable chipmunk...I've seen him several times today and he makes me smile, too!
I had my camera with me and caught him cleaning his tail and vacuuming the bird feeder once again.

oldcrow 61, thanks, I just love this chipmunk...we keep meeting and there's something so endearing about him or her. Hope Chippy can stay safe.
