an Internet image--not the fellow I saw today |
I stopped.
His head sank below the top of the curb. (Whac-A-Mole!)
I waited.
His head peeked over again.
I thought: This would be a great pic!
I pulled my cellphone out, touched the camera icon. Looked back ...
The head was gone.
I waited--camera aimed at the curb.
Waited.
Waited.
Waited.
No chipmunk.
I gave up, put my cell away, continued my walk. As I was crossing the street a little farther on, I saw where he had been: in a small drainpipe from the downspout of the funeral home.
I thought of going over to take a closer look, then decided I'd probably alarmed the critter enough for one day.
I'll keep my eyes open, though--see if I can catch him another day. Because, you see, I do want that pic!
