We met Dave.

.

We spent a nice evening with some friends recently. Drinks and appetizers were shared outside in the garden.

.

.

Which is where we met Dave.

.

.

Dave lives on the property and hides his peanuts in dead trees.

Can you see him?

.

.

Dave is an extremely spoiled chipmunk and quite well fed.

.

.

He’s so well fed he came out of hibernation almost a month later than the other chippies because his larder was well stocked.

.

.

Dave had no problem begging in front of company.

.

.

Shy he’s not.

.

.

And he does love his peanuts.

.

.

🙂

.

Chillin’….

.

Do you see him?

.

.

How about now?

.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten saw him.

.

.

Though eating him was probably higher on his list than it would be on yours.

.

.

Yes, it was a little chipmunk scampering through the rhododendron in front of my kitchen window.

.

.

The day was hot, the shade the bush provided was cool….

.

.

So the little guy just stretched out… and chilled.

.

Random critters.

 

I was finally able to grab a few pictures of our resident buck.

Which is getting harder to do as the summer wears on.

But this father son shot was pretty sweet.

Junior’s antlers are growing.

And it always makes me wonder what the felt feels like.

Naturally there are woodchuck photos.

We have one lone chipmunk this year.

And yes, those pesky red squirrel babies are still here.

Using our deck railing as a cafeteria.

As well as a toilet.

Yes, I’m talking to you.

Clearly your mother didn’t tell you not to shit where you eat.

Bad form. Very bad…..
