I was here first.

I offended a chipmunk today by getting a little too close. They can make loud noises for such little guys.

Thanks everyone for all the very kind comments on my photos. I do appreciate them.

They are becoming part of our family.

[Margaret Tryon]

@5unflow3r Trina I walked right up to him, not realizing he was there, until he yelled at me. I was able to get two shots before he took off.

[Margaret Tryon]

@luvshorses Carol, if I get any chippendales in my yard....I'll be sure to take a picture for you. :-)

[Margaret Tryon]

@clarissajohal Clarissa, that must have been just great. I see the babies around occasionally, but more often hear them as they yell for the moms.

[Margaret Tryon]

@june All these foolish animals in my yard become family, Some I recognize by scars or odd colors. The woods around me are full of animals so I really enjoy it.

[Amanda]

LOL! That's hilarious. He is a cutie!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Oh my goodness. What a wonderful shot. Too cute.

I had to chuckle, both at the great picture, and at the phrase 'offended a chipmunk'. Lovely shot! :)

[Margaret Tryon]

@roobubba Only I would be concerned with offending a chipmunk.

[Paula Fontanini]

OMG....that expression is priceless! I can't decide if he looks annoyed or surprised! :) I don't know how you do it but nobody captures expressiions like you do!
