Two of our desert dwellers are captured here - the frisky and engaging little antelope ground squirrel and the barrel cactus. Photo courtesy of Ken Wilcox.
THANK YOU! I actually did a google search for images of pocket gophers and this fellow DID look cuter but I did not know about antelope ground squirrels. I appreciate the correction!
Love the Southwest? Love Tucson? Every day on "Tucson Daily Photo" you'll see a new image that might be beautiful, unusual, fun, or maybe even inspirational.
Welcome!
Monday already?
Thanks for stopping by for a little "walk around" photo tour of beautiful Tucson, AZ. I hope you enjoy the trip! Please post your comments about the photos! Contact me at: TucsonDailyPhoto@gmail.com
I'm a transplanted New Yorker who loves the Tucson climate. On New Year's Day I have a bit of fun calling my (snowbound) east coast friends to announce that I'm drinking coffee while sitting on my patio. (:
That's a Harris's antelope ground squirrel. Pocket gophers aren't as cute. (I got bitten by one once, I should know!)
