My grandson is an animator for the drone company
Spotted this rock rattler in of all places—the rocks! Of course there’s plenty of rocks in Big Bend. Enough to satisfy the most discriminating rattlesnake. He didn’t look like he wanted to chat so I just snapped a picture & bid him adieu. I’ve come across many snakes in the backcountry. They don’t want to bite you any more than you want to bite them.
Thank you to everyone who got me to 1000 likes! Never thought I’d make it. Been ready to quit many times.
I’ve belonged to the Sierra Club & other environmental organizations for 40+ years & led more than 70 week-long service projects & backpacking trips in national parks. You might say I’m a tree hugger! Or maybe a yucca & creosote hugger since most of my activities have been in the Texas Trans-Pecos 😀
We always had cats but often dogs as well
