Nature Through The Lens

Weekly Photo Challenge: Home

Welcome to my home.

An Eastern chipmunk peaks out of his home in a hollow tree to spy on whoever's passing by.

This curious little guy (gal?) was very welcoming to his two-legged guests. As long as we didn’t get too close that is.

  1. Uh-oh, now I have a Disney song in my head. “I’m Chip. I’m Dale….” :-) Cute, little bugger.

    • Considering how many times I’ve had to endure the Alvin movies, that’s a step up. You haven’t lived until you’ve gone to work with a Beyonce song, sung by the Chipettes stuck in your head.

  4. Oh Jeff, this is awesome. And look at that eye! Tack sharp! Beautifully done and a great take on the challenge! :)

    How did you do with the blizzard? I took a few shots yesterday evening, the sunset was incredible. What pinks and purples! I’ll put them on my page when I get the chance. It’s gonna be a hairy week here at school.

    Again–gorgeous! Bravo!

    • Thanks Karina! This guy was very friendly that’s for sure. I think since I photographed him on the entrance road up to Castle In The Clouds he was very used to people and very likely looking for a handout. Since it was the off season and te Castle was closed he was probably happy to see people, but equally disappointed I didn’t leave any “treats” behind. :-)
