While touring around Jasper we stopped at a picnic area at the side of the highway. There was a small parking lot and some picnic tables next to a small river. It was a nice place to have lunch and there was a group of chipmunks that thought so too.
It was obvious these little guys had learned that everyone who stops there to eat will give them a morsel or two of something tasty. We certainly proved their point. They all looked well fed and all were quite brave.They let me get really close. This shot was not cropped. I got close enough to him/her to fill my frame.
The biggest problem on this day wasn't getting close enough but getting them to sit still long enough for me to choose a good point of view with appropriate lighting and an uncluttered background. I really like this shot and several others I got that day. I may post another one tomorrow.
