Photography Now & Then #100
The tulips have been putting on a wonderful display this year. Karen has certainly gotten her money’s worth on these. It’s too bad that our winters are not such that they will return year after year on their own, but it’s too mild here.
Now: Tulips still thriving after two freezes; almost three weeks since the first one opened; pictured in the evening sun, west-central Arkansas, April 11, 2018 (Apple iPhone 6s)

The Kaibab squirrel (Wikipedia) is a tassel-eared squirrel that lives in the Kaibab Plateau in the Southwest United States, in an area of 20 by 40 miles (30 by 60 km). The squirrel’s habitat is confined entirely to the ponderosa pine forests of the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park and the northern section of Kaibab National Forest around the town of Jacob Lake, Arizona

This squirrel is not found anywhere else in the world. In 1965, 200,000 acres (800 km²) of Kaibab squirrel habitat within Grand Canyon National Park and Kaibab National Forest were declared the Kaibab Squirrel National Natural Landmark.
