Sunrise at the Transept Canyon
On my last day of work, I had to be at the campground at 7:00 a.m., which meant getting up very early. I stepped outside to see this wonderful sunrise over the Transept Canyon. I really do have a fabulous view here.
Kaibab Squirrel
I have been working as a seasonal park ranger at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon for five years now. I have tried for five years to get a picture of the Kaibab Squirrel, but the little critters are FAST! I was sitting at the campground kiosk yesterday, and happened to look up, and saw one just on the other side of the parking lot.
Kaibab Squirrel has a busy white tail
The Kaibab Plateau is the only place in the world where these squirrels live, but there a lot of them at the North Rim. I zoomed in on him, but he seemed to know that I was trying to get his picture again.

While it is not the best photo ever, I did finally get a picture of one of these unique squirrels. They are gray with a white tail. I was finally victorious!
