The Bettie Page of chipmunkdom?

EASTERN CHIPMUNK, GREEN, MICHIGAN, MAY 18, 2011

It's not just that the tree squirrels of Upper Michigan have better things to do than serve as photo models. This chipmunk, who lives in the riprap rocks five feet from our front window, seems to think I'm the Irving Penn of amateur wildlife photography. She strikes a different seductive pose every day. This one seems to be of Playboy (or at least field rodent guidebook) quality.
