Natural photo of Chippy ~ one of my favorite subjects and my favorite photo! Chippy brightens my day whenever he’s at my door. Those cheeks are just awesome!

Chippy is a friendly wild chipmunk who comes to our doorstep each morning for handouts of peanuts and hazelnuts. He and some of his buddies will take nuts from our hands and will crawl on us to look for nuts.

• Picture taken at my back door, July 2008, Tower City, Pennsylvania, USA.

Chipmunks, a tiny member of the squirrel family, are very common in Pennsylvania.
