Feeding Junkfood to Critters

It all started one day when I was sitting out in the hospital courtyard enjoying the weather and snacking on a cherry Hostess Fruit Pie. One of the friendly local chimpmunks came nosing around in search of a handout. Here are the results of that and other feeding attempts since.
