Birds & Blooms’ Friday Fun Photo for June 15, 2012: Chipmunk by Carol Jansen. Enjoy her story (below) and then give us your best clever caption for this chubby-faced chipmunk!
Carol writes, “This little fella has been visiting me for the past two summers. He will jump up on my lap to see if I have any tempting treats to share. He seems to like all kinds of berries and an occasional apple slice. But his all-time favorite so far is Captain Crunch with a few blueberries mixed in. He’s surprised several visitors when he’s climbed up their pants leg to see if they may have brought him a treat.”
