Gotcha!

In the woods behind our house lives a Chipmunk, I call him Gizmo, he spends his time chasing other Chipmunks around the woodlands and racing along the stone wall at great speed.

I have been trying to snap a picture of him for a long time but he is always gets away. The other day, I was taking a picture of our dog Lucy in the kitchen; I happened to glance out the window and there was Gizmo sitting on the stone wall, I zoomed in and clicked. Captured at last!

It would have been better had I not been shooting through glass.

I think this is a great capture of Gizmo. Chipmunks are so fast they are almost impossible to get.

Hi Sunny Thats a great shot of the Chipmunk, and looking through your last few posts I have to say the fog rolling through the woods is a timeless classic,. Great stuff.

Hugs,
Betsy

Gizmo is very cute and I'm so glad that you were finally able to get a photo of him.

LV said...

You did a great job on capturing that Chipmunk. They are so fast and skittish. Nice job.

Wanda said...

We have a few, but I haven't seen much action yet this spring, they must still be cold from winter. Hope your back gets back to normal soon, Sunny!

Valerie said...

Lovely. You were there at the right time. I've never seen a chipmonk before so thanks for posting this.... my education is almost complete.

Gizmo must be hyperactive!!
God bless you!

James said...

Very cute and a nice shot to boot. I saw my first chipmunk just last year.

Pam said...

And a nice capture it is, Sunny. Chipmunks antics are extremely amusing to watch.

And he tells me you had a fall on the ice. I hope you back is feeling much better!
A bad back can stop you right in your tracks... but sadly you already know that.
Be well, My friend :)
