Description

When cleaning out the garage for the graduation party, I found a full bag of rat food, unopened, left over from when we had rats for pets :-) so, I thought I'd dump the entire bag out near the bird feeder, knowing some critters would come along and devour it. When I went out in our 'jungle' out front the other day, I heard this rustling in the tall grass to the left of me. Boris (our cat) as usual, was following me on my right, she didn't hear it. But when I spotted this little guy, I thought omg, how CUTE is that. Cheeks all puffed and stuffed with as much as he could cram in there, he sat there still as could be, just looking at me like this. (he was probably thinking oh great, a CAT) I clicked away, Boris oblivious to it all .. and when I got a few shots, I said "common Boris, let's go...", with the hopes she wouldn't spot it. And, she didn't. lol That was fun. :-) Hope you are all having a nice weekend; the weekend weather here in Minnesota couldn't possibly be any better. Shari

Great capture. Great timing. Great critter. This is a very nice shot for many reasons beyond the "cute" factor (which is off the scale, lol). Well done. I remember chipmunks from when I was a young boy in Ohio. I got lots and lots and lots of squirrels but unfortunately we ain't got no chipmunks in Texas, lol. Thanks for sharing. Lee
