A little mammal for Monday.

Walking one evening last week, along what is called Parson’s Way in Kennebunkport, a path along the cliff-top of Old Fort Point, between St. Anne’s and the Bush compound on Walker’s Point, we came upon this baby Chipmunk on the sidewalk. He was somewhat alarmed to be caught out in the open and froze. We were able to get close enough for this shot with the long end of the zoom on the Coolpix, before he decided the safer course was flight. The late sun of an Maine evening picks out the detail and color.
