Squirrel Family


Another "early bird" visitor to the Desert Botanical Garden last Sunday directed my attention to a large cactus where a new family of squirrels had made their home.  She told me there were 6 babies and the mother living under that cactus.  I watched them for a while while the climbed around on the cactus.


They took turns crawling up the tall branches....


...and then back down to the lower branches.


Finally I was able to catch 5 of them in one shot!

They are smart creatures if they are able to avoid the cactus prickles.

Great shots, Sharon. They certainly know how to manuever around those cactus prickles.
