There were two of them. Filling their pouches for winter. Little greedy guts.
They live behind the downspout in the flower garden.

Chip 'n' Dale
I was relaxing under the patio umbrella, reading, and suddenly I caught movement out of the corner of my eye.
I grabbed my camera and a handful of bird seed mixture.

Oh how absolutely adorable....I know some folks call them tree rats...but chipmunks and squirrels are adorable....most of the time.
ReplyDeleteThose are some chubby cheeks. Its amazing how much they can store in those little mouths.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots.
"Tic et Tac" in French, if you refer to the cartoon. I guess you don't refer to the male performers?
ReplyDeleteI know two cats who would like to make its acquaintance . . .
ReplyDeleteThey are clever. We have them too. They also put up for winter, dog food pellets. I don't think they will stay dry and if they don't, then I don't know if they will eat the mush when they get that way.
ReplyDeleteNice photo.
These always make me think of a Disney cartoon set around Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThey are certainly very nice to look at.
How adorable!?!?! The last photo is exceptionally gorgeous, the little thing with its engorged little cheeks.
ReplyDeleteYou ever seen one of them cheeks explode? It's an awful mess.
ReplyDeleteTo answer your question on the Bronze post...No I didn't buy the statue. It is actually very large and has 3 kids balancing on a log. I could not get in a good place to take the entire sculpture so I concentrated on the face I liked the best. I had enough strange looks as I took shots in the furniture store.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, i love to be around squirrels and watch them fill there pouches full.
ReplyDeleteThat must be a favorite home for chippies. Mine (well, the ones who live in my yard) live behind my rainspout too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for grabbing your camera. Those are brilliant captures.
ReplyDeleteoh they are so cute and cheeky!
ReplyDeleteREPLY ALL:
ReplyDeleteThis is the first year that I have seen chipmunks in the back yard, and the neighbours' yards seem to be full of them too. It must be a good summer for chippies. They are very bold, and will come right up to me if I have something that they consider good to eat, like yummy sunflower seeds.
Don't you love the way they cram everything into their cheeks? It is a bit like me! LOL!
ReplyDeleteDxx
He is cute!!
ReplyDeleteCute chipmunks! Did you know that they sell them in the pet shops here? They cost £89 each!!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, SO CUTE!!!
ReplyDeleteYou got some good pics of those little fellers.
LOL! They are adorable especially with their fat chubby cheeks!!!
ReplyDeleteone of their cousins (are squirrels cousins?) almost came into our cabin last weekend. Our chimney is falling apart and it came in thru there, i saw movement out of the corner of my eye as it peeked its head in and I yelled "What the ???" and scared it out. We filled the holes in the chimney immediately.
What fun! Do they do damage, or are they as cute as they look?
