Chipmunks Galore

IMG_6026


I truly have a love/hate relationship with these guys! On the one hand they drive me crazy getting into every thing and eating plants and birdseed and chirping loudly often!

And they're everywhere I turn, these two were just a few feet apart!

And on the other hand, sometimes they are so cute! This little fellow with the tattered ear made my day while out hiking.

  1. I must say, that first shot makes me think of the little guy as a high priced porcelain figurine on a mossy backdrop.

  3. Our chipmunks in Germany are brown, just like the ones in the fairytale movies... I love it when they sneak into the garden and go nibbling!!!

  8. The last one looks like he's packing some nuts in his mouth. Those cheeks are quite chubby.

  9. Wonderful shots! These little creatures are so hard to capture with a camera - they are fast little critters.

  10. HAHAHAHA! You are so right. They are too cute, but they are also a total nuisance. ;) Cute shots of course of the too cute animal. Maybe's it's their secret survival tactic. CUTENESS. LOL

  15. They are so cute!
    I've seen squirrels here but they are too quick for me. Before I can take out my camera, they run away! they are people shy!

  16. One chipmunk is cute. Two is somewhat adorable. More than three is an infestation of rodents!

  19. I have the same problem...they are everywhere in our yard, digging holes, killing plants, but they are cute. Now I have this new kitten...and he is a very good hunter. I am turning a blind eye and letting nature take its course, though I feel guilty sometimes...
