Cute little critter...took this Saturday morning. I am pretty sure these guys hibernate for Winter as I have not seen them all winter in Nature Preserve but have seen them in past week. I know they drive my dog Hanna, who is a Beagle breed, wild when I walk her through bush as she wants to chase them but is on lease.

We have very few of these left up here. The grey and red squirrels have all but eaten these guys out of house and home.

Lovely find and a great shot, Mr. P.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

Cute picture. Is that a chipmunk? I'm not really good at identifying animals, especially small critters like this one. Great shot, Gerry.

Great shot. I think he may have awakened a couple of times for a snack. He's not near as lean As I would have expected. Absolutely beautiful capture, Gerry.

Sounds like Hanna has completely forgotten her surgery.

I think they migrate to the desert. They hitch a ride with the hummingbirds and geese. Just kidding. Great photo of the little guy and the way they dart around you did really good. Turn Hanna loose and let her have some fun. lol I was expecting a bear when I saw title. Another great one Gerry.

Nice work Gerry, Is that a chipmunk? Don't see them around here. I like the dark background, and good focus on the little guy.

You my Caedes friends post the most wonderful images out here. Full of beauty, life and gorgeous colors. For that, you have my heartfelt 'thanks'. I love 'browsing them' and wish there was more time to personally comment on every one of them.
