Chipmunks are the bane of my warm weather existence. They taunt my cat and eat the tulip bulbs. They filch my crocus bulbs and deposit them for future meals. The following two pictures are of crocus that have been deftly removed from my gardens and replanted along a path next to our property. I was out walking and the blooms caught my eye.
I guess at heart, the chippies are exterior decorators. They wanted to share my gardens with others, the little buggers!

You're giving your camera a real workout, Buffy, with good results. Your flowers are beautiful!

At least they replanted them and did not eat the bulbs!

Cop Car, I was using one of those little disposable cameras. The HP Photo Editor program was a big help, because I'm actually a pretty poor photographer. Thanks for your kind words.
Susan, that's a really positive way to look at the situation. Dear Husband has been encouraging me to plant enough to share. I love the surprise of seeing plants bloom in unexpected places, so I'll have to plant with sharing in mind,

You and me both have chipmunks that think they are better at designing the landscape than we are.
