Photography And Half-Thoughts By Mitchell Hegman

Desperation

I would guess that only a small percentage of the world’s population has seen a chipmunk with a look of total desperation etched on its face. Today, as a sort of twisted public service, I am posting a photograph of a chipmunk I captured in a live trap on my back deck. What you see in the photo is a chipmunk consumed by desperation and in a panic to be set free.

After taking the photo, the two of us went on a long drive before I stopped and let the little critter loose in a green gully bottom. “No more eating my purple whatcha-call-ems!” I admonished as the chipmunk darted off.

I Want Out!
