Nice Snake


Found him sleeping peacefully in the shade of a creosote bush.
Yes, it is a rattlesnake.  What a beauty.

As long as he is sleeping. Don't get too close or make too much noise, John.

Good eye to spot him. I believe the horny eyes make him a sidewinder.

Beauty as long as he stays where he is.
Snakes are not my "thing".
Great photo though.
