Paparazzi Chippy



It will probably not surprise you to learn my heroes are the famous paparazzi chipmunk photographers whose photos can be found in Woodpile Glamour magazine. I love to read about all the famous chipmunks and other critters in Hollywood. I have been studying their photos to discover their secrets to getting up close to celebrities. I thought I would test out my skills by taking secret photos of the Phoebe family.

We chipmunks are naturally excellent climbers. It should be easy to climb up and take some photos of the nest and babies. Here is a sampling of my best photos.


Mr. Phoebe


Mrs. Phoebe


Two hungry baby birds


They grow up fast. This fellow is just about to leave the nest.


Mr. & Mrs. Phoebe are now officially "empty nesters"
 

Mr. and Mrs. Phoebe were not very appreciative. Here I am about to make them famous through my blog and they are squawking and diving bombing me like I some common backyard pest.

Hold on a moment, I hear someone at the burrow door. … Okay, I am back. It was some dude from the Woodpile District Court who handed me a bunch of papers and told me I had been “served.” Served what? Obviously not sunflower seeds.

The paperwork says something about having to appear before a judge to answer charges of invasion of privacy, disturbing the peace, and harassment of the Phoebe family. What? I am a “news photographer,” I am protected by the 1st amendment. Right? Well, at least that is what I read in “How to be Your Own Lawyer in Five Easy Lessons.”

This can’t be good. I have to appear before Judge Crookshanks the Cat. She is tougher than Judge Judy! I hear she eats chipmunks for breakfast.
