Here are a few shots of a moment in time I captured before leaving for work this morning as one of the cats caught sight of a chipmunk on the front step, and the chipmunk caught site of him and froze there. The two stood, frozen, for several full minutes, the cat's tail swishing back and forth and his mouth chittering, and the chipmunk frozen in place, counting down the seconds until his life was to end (transparent but cat-proof surfaces being a bit beyond his cranial-capacity).
