“While strolling around my quiet neighbourhood, a quick leaf turn and a speedy little tail told me of the presence of a curious Chipmunk. I knelt down and waited. There she was, peeking through a fallen leaf. She leapt closer and I started to capture frames.
Her sweet face was delightful. The camera clicks kept her amused, and she decided to get a better view of the noisy device. She climbed up an oak trunk of a warm ochre shade and offered me her best inquiering pose –her coat in perfect camouflage with the oak bark..”(Location: Countryside in Lexington, MA, USA)
