A chipmunk stands on a rock looking to the left. Behind it a green leaf makes a blurry background.

While I’ve spent a quarter of my life in the US I still grew up in the UK and got used to the wildlife here. So sometimes when I’m back in the US I will find an animal that while quite common is quite new to me. Such was the case when I came to this park (actually in Toronto) and found a bunch of chipmunks running around the paths. I think some of the passers by thought me a little strange for spending so much time watching them, but I’m still happy with the photos I got.
