Camera shy: This chipmunk covered up for his close up by Ohio-based photographer Mark Hardymon
This chipmunk wanted to see no camera, hear no camera - then a giant flash bulb drove him NUTS.
The tiny rodent settled on a comfy stump before being startled by a photographer in a garden in Delaware, Ohio, United States.
The Eastern Chipmunk was right at home in the garden of Mark Hardymon, 45, who caught his hilarious expressions on film.

A keen photographer, he tempts birds and other wildlife to the garden with seeds, the cute little thing's favourite food.
Mr Hardymon, who builds custom houses for a living, made his furry friend comfortable by constructing his own little perch.
'The chipmunks live nearby and will often scramble up the trunk of the tree and feed on the bird seed there.

'The little chipmunk on this day climbed up on the perch for whatever reason and as animals so often do proceeded to groom himself, which is what you see in the photo.
'At that point it was just a matter of pushing the button as quickly as possible.
'Because it happened so quickly I didn't even know if I had captured it. It was only when I looked back I realised it looked exactly like he was pulling, see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil poses.
'Chipmunks can be pretty skittish but the bird food is a strong attraction.
'But once they find the food and realise nothing bad happens, they come and go comfortably.
