Canon 40-D: 17-40mmF4LI have sighted a lot of wildlife lately, but have not had another good opportunity to photography fawns. I did see another doe with a fawn in a wooded area, but had no chance to use the camera. I noticed the chipmunk in the photograph below as I was driving a narrow, winding back road. He ran under the log when I stopped, but I got the camera in position, and he soon returned for a good photo op.
Canon 40-D: 100-400mm L at 365 mm-1/125sec. f5.6 ISO 800The woodchucks have been frequent visitors to the meadow. The first shot is of the mother, while the second is a juvenile. They have grown quite a bit since the post where the entire family was pictured in one shot.

Beautiful photographs, Willard. I wish I had a woodchuck. Well, maybe not. The chipmunks we loved so much last year as twin babies are now making tunnels in the oddest places. I got to give them lessons next year on where and how to make a tunnel without upsetting the boss. LOL
The skies that clear out the haze and humidity are my favorite--deep and blue and bright. Thanks for the views of the furry guys, too.
Hey buddy, great photos. I smile everytime I read your heading. Such a great statement.
This is so beautiful:)

Hi Willard
Another great post.. those Chipmunks would be sight to see... I've seen then over here kept as pets and I hate that..
Thank you for joining in with Sky Watch this week and helping to make it special.

Willard, great critters. I adore these little woodland animals and I'm just not quick on the camera so I enjoy coming here. Very nice post.

Willard: Very nicely done for a great SWF post.
o my, I can't choose a favorite, but that sky and trees is very lovely!
Great sky and beautiful creatures always from you Willard.
visit my colours of Nature.
Magnificent the sequence of beautiful pictures, with colors and landscapes expactaculares. Congratulations.
Lovely sky, but the wildlife get my vote!
I've loved chipmunks since I was a kid - this little guy was certainly worth waiting for.
Very nice Sky Watch post.
Great shots!
Nice one for SWF! When you realize how perfect everything is you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky... mine's up too hope you can drop by.
i like your pic werry well nice
Just beautiful. Your wildlife photography is amazing.
wonderful shots of the sky and the critters
Beautiful sky photo, but my favorite is the chipmunk. Reminded me of a photo I took of a chipmunk some 60 years ago, using a Kodak Brownie camera at appx. 25 yards from the chipmunk. One would have to use a really high-powered magnifying glass to see the little creature evan as a lump on a log, much less any detail of an animal. I laugh now, but I thought it was great at the time -- I was 14.
Nice shots!
Great photos! Don't know that I've ever seen a woodchuck before. Look a bit like slim marmots :)
Great shots Willard!
That chipmunk shot is Fabulous!
I like seeing the young woodchuck, too!!
lovely shots!
Beautiful clear skies! I love the blue and green together!
Great capture of the little critters. Very nice shots.
Hi Willard,
Yeah, Wednesday was a nice cool morning.
Good shots of the whistle pigs and I do like that chippie as a great image!
I've sent you an email.

Love the little chipmunks. Fabulous photo!
HA HA reminded me of the cartoons Chip and Dale...gotta be careful now days people might think I be talking a male dance CREW GADS
lol
Great photos...and WE too are grateful for the BREAK in the weather
Just wanted to wish you a Happy Father's Day to the fathers in your family and to you a blessed day.
I hear cardinals, Carolina wrens, grackle babies wanting fed, and other nature sounds and the sky in the east is getting brighter and the air is cool and the doors are open and so are the windows. I am blessed on this Father's Day morning.
Good job on these, too! We have this type chipmunk. He loves to eat Oliver's leftover pellets. You should see his cheeks after he's thru stuffing his mouth. Funny!
