Artist's Comments

Meet Bob. Bob is a least chipmunk. Bob is smaller than the palm of my hand. Bob is terrified of people.

I chased him for 10 minutes. Finally, he found a flower to eat and held still. I only had one picture left, and I was so worried that Bob would run away. I took his picture, then inched closer and deleted it, so I could take a closer picture. The process continued until I could almost reach out and pat him on the head. A crowd gathered around me and they wanted a picture of Bob too. Too bad. He ran away before anybody else had a chance.

I have many more landscapes to post, but this remains my favorite pic of the entire trip because of the effort behind it. Thanks, Bob ;)

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark.
And a large group of professionals built the Titanic.

Bob looks likes he's eating my roommate!

Awesome capture - Bob looks like he's in a crisp suit and a matching ski mask so he can go and rob a rich bank!

In Chipmunk style!

He sure is very cute, and we all know small animals are so difficult to take photos of...therefore my admiration for the effort (and the result). ;)
