Description
I caught this family of ground squirrels catching the last rays of the day. The sun set shortly after I took this pic and they slowly went into their burrow for the night! The days were extremely hot but the nights in the desert get really cold! Snapped in the Kgalagadi last year!
Thank you for popping and and for your kind comments and favs on my last upload.

Amazing capture Carin. God bless.
A delight to see them Carin.
A great family pic! I suppose they are all somebody's lunch.
Lovely family portrait.
I feel like going underground myself here, it is extremely hot here today. Excellent image Carin. Now this begs the question, did you shoot that sunset?
What lovely little bushy tails.
Great capture. I hope they stay safe after Andreas comments :0)))
Very interesting capture. While I hope that they all survive, it is known that Mother Nature does not curry favorites
Remarkable to the Nth degree, Carin.
Excellent shot a fantastic lighting too. deserves to been seen in zoom view.
Cute! Excellent capture! (Love the light at this time of day!)
Great family shot, I thought they were baby meerkats when looking at the thumbnail.
Wonderful catch of momma, papa and the children out for the day.
I like the long shadows. Full view is a must!!
Wonderful shot. Aloha
they look cute enough to take home, but then the garden would be "toast" I guess.
Sweet family capture! It is amazing how many little creatures live in the desert.
WHat a lovely little family. They also know to appreciate the evening sun. Excellent capture :)
