He’s back—fifth sortie today. Fills his cheeks and vanishes. Each run he gets a little closer. I’ve started placing snacks nearer to me. He’s cautious, but I think I’m being trained.

An Eastern Chipmunk sits upright on a brick path, holding food in its tiny paws, surrounded by violets, creeping plants, and the backdrop of a weathered wall.

Spotted this little snack thief in a quiet patch of shade, stuffing its cheeks like it’s prepping for winter in May.
Soft light, wild violets, and one very focused forager.
