This little guy was hanging out up in the tree tops munching on an old dried berry from last year with cobwebs clinging to the branches where surely leaves now reside. They were the first Chipmunk we noticed this spring and reassurance that winter had finally given way.

The title brings a smile to my face, Mike, there’s something about the first chippy of the season. And this photo is an artistic statement of the beauty of life with the light on his forehead hairs, the bits of red, and the spiderweb. Beautiful post.

I liked the old spider web in photo making it feel like maybe spring was just beginning here. Cleaning out the cobwebs of winter perhaps. Hope your doing well and enjoying your weekend.

Saw a chipmunk in our neighborhood for the first time ever just the other day. Love your photo.

Thanks Kit, we don’t see many near home just one or two at a time and only once in awhile. When we hike just a few miles away there are numerous encounters.

I associate them with camping as a kid because the campgrounds were full of them. They can be harder to see in the woods.
