Hi Everyone! I sure have enjoyed your comments! Thank you so much!

Electric Chipmunk, Mr. Tree? HA! Yes. Have another brownie!

Actually these little guys are so cute and SO FAST! WOW! They seem to congregate in certain areas of the canyon walk hoping for food...but it's not allowed to feed them. Sad really...but it's so they will learn to survive the long winters without mans help.

SSSKiki, you might be right. Off and on I try all different filters and then come back to the fractalius filter... (Sigh!)

Thanks so much all!

Excellent treatment for this little guy Laura!!! What a cutie!!!! Did he stow away and go home with you!? LOL!!! AH NUTS! :))) Great shot, and have a great week!!!! Laura #8425758

Pom, the frac suits this little sweetie and his/her surroundings perfectly.
You use whatever filter you feel works for the image, and frac rocks here!
(Or, maybe, frac looks good ON the rocks here...?... :-) #8426092

Tammy Espino March 02, 2010

I couldn't even tell you used the fract. until I enlarged it!! What a cute capture :) #8428160

Laura E. Swan level-classic March 03, 2010

Hi Ladies!

I wish I could have stowed him away in my purse! Last year I did see one in the neighborhood and wondered if he came back in someones camper? :D

Thank you for still liking my FRAC images. I really am having fun with it.

Glad you liked it. We still have company so I wont be here much!

I'll catch up soon. I promise!

Wow...you actually used the FRAC filter?? ha! Cute photo, but that chipmunk looks larger than the ones down in these here parts! Lovely treatment, m'dear! #8441088

Laura E. Swan level-classic March 08, 2010

Hi Nancy and Kalena!

Thank you both!

YES! Can you believe it? I thought I'd give the frac filter a "try" since it is so very new to me! (Hee hee!)

Actually this little critter was really tiny, Karen. That's trick photography. Impressive hey? HAHAHAA!
