I find it interesting that everyone has their favourite shot out of the three. I was more settled on the chipmunk, although they may have had nothing to do with the subject itself, but how hard it was to capture it.

In my childhood, I went to a petting zoo, and a set of rams was being nice and eating food from my hand politely until I ran out. Then they started charging at me. How soon they forget who's at the top of all food chains! I find that one of the risks of animals becoming too comfortable with human presence is boldness.

Most of my brush with nature is squirrels, who seem much more antsy about approaching humans. I'll have to carry cookies with me just in case I run into a chipmunk on my photo sessions.

It's can be hard to do photos without the right inspiration; sometimes you need to force yourself to take pictures (a common exercise is one per day), because that forces you to look at familiar things differently when you run out of things to shoot.

(that's any little critter with pitty pat paws). I love chipmunks. But really your most amazing shot is the bird, who really appears to be looking the viewer right in the eye. Wonderful shot! Pitty!!

They can be bold little things when they get used to getting handouts and will even try to follow you back into the house, if they really get used to you and you haven't been generous enough with the sunflower seeds.

It also reminds me of my college days working as a tea server in the library. We had a chipmunk come to tea every day, so we'd leave him a Pepperidge Farm Chessman cookie, and chipmunk ate it with such zeal and cuteness! So I mean that your photo captured the essence of the chipmunk. All it needs is a cookie...lol It’s been a while since I checked in on your blog — that chipmunk makes me want to scream it is so adorable!
