Critters!
Woke to the sound of the ‘morning chorus’.
I didn’t
know a single bird call that I could hear.
Looking out the window I could see ‘critters’
fossicking
around in the grass. Squirrels,
chipmunks and a family of groundhogs all
promptly disappeared when I went out with
the
camera. I did manage to get a photo of
the groundhogs’ front door though!

This was the first time I have seen groundhogs
during our travels but I
have gotten used to
seeing squirrels and chipmunks dashing for
safety when I get too close. Squirrels usually
run
straight up the nearest tree and don't
reappear until you are gone, whereas
chipmunks are the funniest little things
and
seem to be really nosey. They will head up a
tree but if you stand still, after a few moments
a tiny head will
pop around the tree trunk to
check out where you're at and what
you're doing.
I
didn't take these next 3 photos. I 'borrowed' them ....
My wildlife photography really leaves
a lot to the imagination
....
see ....
.... you have to imagine that the squirrel
is still there!
