An Eastern Chipmunk
and the Leaf
Oct. 3, 2010




Over the years I've put online photographic sequences of a cottontail, a groundhog, and a white-tailed deer with each one disappearing a leaf (links at bottom). I suppose it's fitting that I now have a little chipmunk and a large leaf.

Of course, with the chipmunk, the leaf is for bedding (or room division), not food.

  This is the third leaf that the chipmunk has taken. Seems like a challenge to get it all in.

  But nothing can stop a determined chipmunk.

  Ah, found just the right method of folding.

  And there it goes until . . .

  . . . all gone!

  Yes, another successful chipmunk mission, which took all of about 3 seconds to accomplish.

Photography note: The photos were taken with a Pentax K20D and the SMC-DA 55-300mm lens on 2 Oct. 2010.
