I Guess We've Come to Terms or . . .

hunger won the day.

I've been trying to capture this little cutie all week.

This is the fruit of a Kousa Dogwood.

Kousa Dogwood fruit is the primary edible part of Kousa Dogwood Cornus kousa), which is a small tree or shrub native to Asia that is now a very popular landscape plant in the US. It is also called Japanese Dogwood, Korean Dogwood, and Chinese Dogwood, there are many cultivated varieties in existence.

and this Chipmunk has been predictably breakfasting on them each morning about the same time.

And always took flight when I opened the window screen (slowly and carefully)

However, today, either hunger won out or I don't seem to be much of a threat anymore.
