Oh Michael, he is so very, very cute! The white on his back matches the white of the rocks perfectly. He is color co-ordinated! When I was reading your comment, it sounded like something out of a Walt Disney ad! It was great! I am surprised that you were able to get that close. Usually, these little guys run away pretty doggone fast. I had one scre the stuffin' out of me in the when we were in the rain forest off of the Olympic Peninsula. He ran across my feet and I thought I was dead!!!! It is pretty funny is retrospect.
I hope your back is ready for that spring lfower show and that DiAnn is ready for you to go! This ia great wildlife image and is oging into my favorite's folder on my harddrive *waves hi*
Thanks :~)

Chipmunks, now that is a cute critter. Why can't we have more chipmunks.:o)
They much more cuter than those world dominating squirrels. Really, they are trying to take over our world... Mmm-Hmmm, yup they are...
*White van pulls up*
Ummm.. guys.. not yet, I''m not finished here... C'mon guys....
Great Pic by the way.... guess I gotta go now.. *bow*

It must have been a successful hunting then. This little rodent is a sweaty. The soft focus makes it even more ..... delicious! I hope you will be fine by spring time and I wish you a nice expedition on flowery meadows...

Like I said previously Michael....you just have a way of capturing all these little critters of the wild! You have soooooooooo much patience...there he sits so sweetly just waiting for you to take his picture!!....and you have such a great photographers eye...I think they all know that and so they let ya take their pictures!!...great great photo!...verena

Superb, Michael. Could you give us exif datas? Thanks :-)

I have never seen a chipmunk in Florida! Squirrels and rats...but never a chipmunk!
This is so cute! Nice and clear!
