The Rock Squirrel (Otospermophilus variegatus) is a medium sized ground squirrel but can also be seen climbing boulders, rocks and trees. It is typically 8-10 inches long, with a bushy tail up to 8 inches long. Rock squirrels are grayish-brown, with some patches of cinnamon color. They have a light-colored ring around their eyes and pointed ears that project well above their heads. In the northern reach of their habitat, rock squirrels hibernate during the colder months of the year. In southern areas, rock squirrels may not hibernate at all. These squirrels are diurnal animals that spend their days burrowed underground or hiding beneath bushes and rocks, only emerging to forage for food or to find mates. The rock squirrel is omnivorous with its diet consisting mostly of leaves, stems and seeds. They may also eat some insects and other small animals. This rock squirrel was photographed on Campbell Mesa in the Coconino National Forest near Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.

I am fascinated by what appears to be a sterile dead environment until I look closer and see tiny mosses, lichens and algae actually growing a stabilizing soil on undistrubed sand. I learned about this fragile cryptobiotic soil from rangers in the United States National Parks.

Several flower spikes of the giant, ground-dwelling Blue Puya Bromeliad (Puya berteroniana), called the Chagual in Chile. A close relative of the pineapple this Bromeliad is unusual in growing rooted in earth rather than being an epiphyte on the branches of a tree. It is also very unusual in the Plant Kingdom in having turquoise flowers, which are usually pollinated by hummingbirds when the plant produces its one and only flower spike after about five years of growth and then dies. The species is endemic to Chile.
