These little guys were finally permitted to come out just after July 4th. I spent a week doing basically nothing but shooting pics of them. Watching them was pure pleasure.

What a cute family! And what a fun pleasure for you to watch! they look quite similar to a chipmunk, but I'm thinking, being in Texas and all, that they're much larger! Well done, thanks for sharing your fun!

Yup, we call them "Chippers" because they look exactly like Chip 'n Dale, Alvin, and all those Disney chipmunks. But, we were corrected by a biologist - not chipmunks but ground squirrels. I'll post a pic of the real chipmunks we have.
Oh, not Texas - these guys are in southern Colorado.

Oops, pays to look at the whole location! :oops: I'm embarrassed once again. You'd think I'd learn :roll:

Everyone, thanks for the nice comments. This photo did get included in our community calendar this past year so I was pretty proud. I took what seemed like hundreds of shots of the little guys - thank goodness for digital instead of film!
