End of summer photo session at Walden Pond.
by Leonid Sakharov
This photo session was during one of the last days of summer
when I ride there on bicycle to escape oppressive heat. The photo
occasions that day was special remarkable with showing chipmunk,
hawk at close proximity and other nice scenes.
Chipmunk runs at side path around Walden Pond and stares at me.
Chipmunks have habits to run just before person as if they play
Russian roulette – will foot step on it or maybe not? One time
I was unlucky and pressed one down. Sorry pall. In reality they
are not too intelligent and actually want to track coming danger
and escape in the same time. To understand that for safe run
it is necessary to turn around at first they have to small brain.
They just run in direction of sign across path.

Chipmunks have camouflage coloring that makes its visible only
when moving loudly at dry foliage.
