While out hunting dragonflies the other day, I heard the unmistakable chatter of a chipmunk and looked up to see this fellow looking down at me through the leaves. As I angled for a shot he followed my every move but he did not seem too upset to be under observation. I found a few different lines of sight and caught him looking back at me.

Just a brief encounter, but it certainly enriched my photo-prowl.
