Chipmunk and Rabbit

Townsend’s Chipmunk

And I bet some of you were expecting a photo that had a chipmunk and a rabbit in the same image. Sorry about that. I’ve never seen a rabbit climb a tree, either. Anyway, I’m just working my way through images and doing some editing and clean-up … plus adding some of Lightroom’s adjustments since I took some of these several years ago. I would recommend doing that every so often. Adobe really does make significant changes to their editing tools now and then … it makes it worthwhile to pay the subscription fee to get all the updates (unlike some company’s that charge the subscription fee and in return you get no new features).

Rabbit

I think this is the native snowshoe hare, but I’m not sure it hasn’t been hybridized with some domestic variety. But it’s a cute little bunny anyway, yes?

One of the challenges of camping/backpacking in the Olympic National Park is keeping food away from mice, jays and ground squirrels or chipmunks. While the park requires bear-proof containers or elaborate hanging rituals to keep food away from the black bears, the same containers also protect your food from the smaller critters like the Townsend’s Chipmunk shown here. (in some areas raccoons and crows are even bigger pests)
