While I don't get freaked out by snakes, I don't think I want to come across a poisonous one. :-) And it would have been lovely if Mother Nature had made the Rattlesnake's *head* more colorful instead of the tail since the tail isn't what I worry about biting!

The worst part about being a snake here is that people will go out of their way to run them over and that bothers me.

The snakes themselves don't frighten me, but I do worry about stepping on one... they blend in so incredibly well (like with your creosote photo) they can be very hard to spot when out hiking in the desert.Spare Parts and Picshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836657200014402380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1586701010472458386.post-61130580217144542252012-05-19T04:04:33.052-07:002012-05-19T04:04:33.052-07:00I would be too scare to take pictures.

...Great photos. So glad you gave him lots of room. <br />I really dislike when the hungry Mum and the young baby come out after winter. The babies are so crazy they will strike at anything.<br />I have a huge black king snake that lives around the west side of my home. I love him because he eats all sorts of critters I don't like and the rattlesnakes ! I have named him Oswald.<br /><br />Have a lovely weekend, it will be hot but we will have the solar eclipse to look at.<br /><br />cheers, parsnipangryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1586701010472458386.post-72509161785408835082012-05-18T21:55:54.564-07:002012-05-18T21:55:54.564-07:00Wonderful to see, at least from a bit of distance....Wonderful to see, at least from a bit of distance.Gaelynhttp://geogypsytraveler.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1586701010472458386.post-609465691150965752012-05-18T20:43:47.162-07:002012-05-18T20:43:47.162-07:00Snake!!
