#ThrowbackThursday #Throwback to when i met this wild Eyelash Pit Viper in my photography workshop, i feel like my discomfort with this subject shows 🤣 most of my fellow photographers waited to capture the flickering forked tongue, i just kinda wanted to move back to that coquette i thought i saw in the hummingbird garden!

(yes, they are venomous, don't make em mad!)

I found a baby garter snake to show Ellie when she gets up. My mom used to catch spiders, insects and snakes to show us when we were kids. She once caught a baby copperhead while cleaning her yucca plants. My dad just shook his head.

The grey roots circle thee, who never knew
At any hour within thy travels lone
A human shape but mine…

I was up near the front of the hike this morning when this enormous rattler took exception to our use of the trail. Western diamondback, I think, and definitely the biggest #rattlesnake I've ever seen. Also a good test of the telephoto on my new phone camera.

#PhotoOfTheDay is an old snapshot I took of a colorful California king snake I encountered while hiking in the Santa Cruz mountains near Mt. Umunhum.

I've come across king snakes over the years while hiking, but the others have all been the brown-patterned variety. This was the only one I've encountered with the red coloring, and it really gets your attention on the trail!

The king snake is not venomous.

Red on black (King snake), you're ok, Jack!

Red on yellow (Coral snake), kills a fellow.
