Is it summer yet?

Rattlesnake

Maybe not yet … but the rattlers don’t know it.

It’s warm and dry. Most of us are hoping for rain.

You do need to look before you leap … so you don’t leap right on top of them!

How cool, TJ! Good eye.
And brave of you for taking the time to get a good shot of this guy.
In all the years I’ve been out on the range I’ve yet to see a snake. I hear they are very prevalent in Wyoming but I just haven’t run across one. I wouldn’t mind “seeing” one, though. 🙂

More like good ears! I didn’t see this critter; I heard it! And something told my little pea brain that it was NOTNOTNOTNOT harmless dry, old locoweed (which sounds just like rattlers rattling (well … a lot like)) when you walk through it or the wind rattles the dry pods. ‘Tis the season! Be aware out there!

Ha. This little guy was maybe a foot long (or maybe not even that long) and not very big around. Long lenses are as handy for “shooting” these slitheries as they are for photographing mustangs!
