The weather has been a bit dreary lately. Lots of rain and clouds.
I guess I shouldn't complain though. It could be snow.
Or tornadoes!
So sad about the storms in Kansas
Tornadoes in February in Kansas!
Just wrong!
But enough of that dreariness.

The other day (a sunny day) I noticed Carmen Chipmunk waiting by the food dish.
I had not yet put the morning food out.
"Hey House Lady! Where's my morning meal?"
"What the heck is the delay?"
"If you don't hurry up and get my food out here,
the squirrels will soon arrive."
"And then I'll get NONE!"
"OH, PLEASE, House Lady ... please hurry up!"
: : :
Well, of course, I immediately laced the wall with some sunflower seeds.
She has me well trained!

Here's hoping for some sunshine today wherever you are!

Very Cute post Reena,
We are still in Las Vegas and the sun is shining, just a little over cast today but it looks like the sun is eating up all the mist.
haha, i would have as well...he is so cute....fun to think he is just sitting there waiting on you...smiles.
Oh I LOVE Carmen!!
Super post!
What a cute little chipmunk - even if he is a bit pushy. :-)
oh, i love chipmunks... so cute!! what a sweet outdoor pet. (:
What a sweetie Carmen is and they do train us well, don't they??? Love your pics for the day, as always. We have a few rays of sun this morning, but it's mostly cloudy and the rain/snow showers are due to return later today. But like you, I'm grateful that I don't live in the path of these horrible tornadoes!! It has indeed been a weird winter. Hope you get some sun, enjoy the day, Reena!

Fabulous shots! Love the last one of the squirrel's backside...
I'm in HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!! I adore chipmunks!!! And we have none here, though there are ones in other neighborhoods! When I was a child, our back yard was at the edge of a woods. We would sit on the back porch very still and patient and the squirrels would come and take peanuts out of our hands. And every once in awhile, a chipmunk would!! They are so much more shy, so there was much joy when that happened.
Very cute! This weather has been pretty sucky, I haven't taken a photo in a while :-(
These little guys are so sweet..
i'd have come running for that sweet little face and striped butt, too!
MOL Ms. Reena we just love the names you give your yard critters.
Carmen is a very lucky lady too.
I'm glad you hopped to fulfill her requests asap.
Hugs Madi
That chipmunk is way too cute. Thanks for reminding me . . . I need to go and put some squirrel food out.
Lovely pictures. Sweet little fellow waiting for his breakfast!
What cute, cute pictures!! But what is it about all things on 4 legs that has us so well trained? :-)
Carmen is a sweetie.
Snow is not all that bad, Reena, at least to my way of thinking. BUT tornadoes are indeed dreadful!
I wish we could send you our chipmunks. We don't get along with them much.
That same Kansas storm was a killer in southern Illinois. Awful.
Hey, I'll trade you a half a dozen squirrels for your chipmunk? Deal?
Carmen is so sweet! We haven't seen a chipmunk around here ever since neighbors with outdoor cats moved in.
I think that chipmunk is awfully cute. It's very sweet visiting all of your backyard critters.
Wonderful series! He's a lucky chipmunk.. cute too!
Thats so cute but actually dont all our animals have us trained??

She does look a bit worried and frazzled. Poor dear! :)
I want a chipmunk!!! Cute! I love it that he has you trained all up. He is cute and smart. :)
xo Catherine
I hope you were in time! I hate to think what happens when those greedy squirrels come! I know how they hand upside down on our feeders! lol ♥
Hi Reena...I have 10 inches of snow on my back deck : {..but snow can be moved and sholved ..homes are destroyed in tornado's : {
Your Chipmunk is adorable..cute story and shots!! : }}
Grace
What terrific shots you got! And such a cute story, too!
We dodged a bullet with those tornadoes yesterday, but there's another strong possibility tomorrow. Hoping the best for everyone.
And we should not complaint.
Just face it, and it shall be a good memory in the future.
how cute this little guy is...love the personality!!
I would run out too with that plaintive look. I haven't seen a chipmunk for a long time, really enjoyed these pictures.
The chipmunk is sooo cute! Poor chipmunk, no food at his bowl. Well, I must say, the chipmunk's kinda demanding huh! :D

Cute shots of the chipper. I have been seeing the chipmunks lately, A sign of spring? YEA!!! Have a great weekend, Reena!
Awwwww... he's adorable! Love chipmunks and squirrels :)
Have a great weekend, Reena!
Hi Reena
Nice to find you... just popped over from Tracy's blog and pleased I did :-) Wonderful photos!
It may be me, but I totally read that chipmunk voice with Jerry Lewis tones....
We had our much awaited rain for the last 2 days. There will be snow in the mountains.
You created a charming little story with the chipmunk.
they are so cute those little rascals .. and I love the Snapseed effect on the top shot ... at first I thought AHA she got the Hipstamatic but no, its been 'snapseeded'!
Well, lady-wildlife-photographer....you just keep right on doing it! And the commentary is always special. ;-)
Yep, I do believe he has you trained... So darn cute..
Absolutely adorable!! Amazing that you have chipmunks. I think ours are still hibernating!
So gorgeous, your little
furry friends.
I'd have come scurrying
with some sunflower seeds
too!
So charming:)

What an adorable little chipper. We have had some pretty crappy weather too...at least on the weekends when I can get out with my camera. You did a great job focusing that first shot with the branch and rain in the way.
eeeee! look at that cute little butt! and everyone knows vertical stripes are slimming, so he's smart too.
Who could resist putting out sunflower seeds for such a cutie :-)
You see, I think you have her well-trained. For her photo sessions, dontchaknow.
The outdoor animals can be very demanding at times!
Charming sequence with the chipmunk!

what an adorable (and seemingly impatient!) chipmunk!
this made me go oooohhh ooohhhh oooooo ooooo he is sooo cute.
Love the chipmunk story!!
Great photos and what a cute little guy! He sure was waiting on you...
I have missed your wit! Somehow, I haven't been to your blog in quite a while. I need to do some reorganizing and make my blog roll more practical. You are one of my favorites...
Adorable chipmunk. I love the added story from the chipmunk's perspective.
