White Chipmunk at a rescue centre in Staffordshire UK. P.S. Mark sends his thanks to everyone. ______________________________________ Has anyone else had problems watermarking their posts, I'm finding it's putting it where it wants to and not where I want it to be!
Please post your serendipity-picture(s) on 8-9 February 2008, thank you!
Any tips or constructive criticism are welcome :)
I really appreciate all your comments, thank you so much. I'm only sorry I've not got time to respond. I do read all the comments and will try to answer any questions you have about my posts :)
ON OUR RECENT TRIP, TO NORWAY AND THE ARCTIC, WE VISITED 7 PLACES AND TRAVELED A TOTAL DISTANCE OF 4233 NAUTICAL MILES 1 nautical mile = 1.15 land miles or 1.852 kilometers.
I really think the reflection of you in this critters eye is neat , but I have atleast one mouse in my house at this moment and this reminds me of a mouse too much with it's coloring so it's giving me the heebee geebee's , no offense !
you would think my cat would catch the damn thing , he has been stalkin the kitchen area were we believe it to be but the dag on thing won't go on the stupid glue traps and is not bothering with the mouse traps either !! uuuuugh !
hey idiot ( talking to myself now ) I don't think mary wants to hear your life story about stuart little ....lol

@Man With 101 Names: Oooops! Have you thought of using peanut butter to trap the little blighter, they seem to love it. Well the one that got in our kitchen did, he walked straight into the humane trap, it snaped shut and in the morning I was able to release him into the garden. Job done :D
Great shot! I agree about the reflection. It's really neat.

I like this perspective, it makes for a great picture.

Wow! What a close-up and I have to second the thoughts on the reflection in his eyes. Great capture! How close to (or far from) Mr. Chips were you?

@Steven: Thank you Steven, I was right up to the fence of the enclosure where he was living, there was a little of the wire fence in the shot so I cropped it out. I pretty sure the reflection is my son as I was kneeling down at the time.
What a wonderful portrait! Menno (my son) liked it very much! Interesting reflection in the eye, too.

Neat shot, he looks a cute character
6 Feb 2008 11:21am
great self-portrait...I mean the reflection… Really wonderful shot! Looks like he is awaiting of something, may be the peanut?
6 Feb 2008 11:59am
Perfect capture, nice closeup!
6 Feb 2008 12:39pm
I think he's cute!
6 Feb 2008 12:41pm
Great close-up portrait of Mr. Chips! Best of luck to him in finding a home!
6 Feb 2008 1:19pm
Great shot!!... and love the reflection in it's eye, too!! I've never seen a white chipmunk... I'd expect something like to be in the cold wintry tundra of the north not the verdant green of England!! LOL
6 Feb 2008 2:43pm
Wow! Great close-up of this little cutie.
6 Feb 2008 6:07pm
Wow, I've never seen one before but he sure is cute. Nice close up and detail. You should take him home.
6 Feb 2008 6:24pm
particular point of view, great, well done Mary... ciao...
6 Feb 2008 6:52pm
Do we have chipmunks in the UK? Especially white ones? Or was it someone's pet? Looks deeply suspicious of your camera,
6 Feb 2008 8:34pm
Oh my how did you get so close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great capture
6 Feb 2008 8:53pm
Very nice close-up Mary!
