 This was the first thing I thought of when I saw the challenge. “Alvin” is an Eastern Chipmunk that lives in my backyard. Every morning I sit in a beach chair on my patio with peanuts and birdseed and give Alvin his breakfast. He readily climbs up my leg and fills his mouth then returns to his burrow to store the food. Sometimes he will sit in my open hands and I can pet him with my thumb.

I know this is out of focus. It was difficult to position my cellphone up against my body and try to take this without scaring Alvin. He didn't like it!
