I have never seen a rattler in the wild, I bet it would give you a start.
Love the image of the mushrooms,quite a find, and hubby did a great job capturing the rattler. #9698901

Tammy M. Anderson level-deluxe September 27, 2011

Thanks Dominick, Gord, Carolyn, Claudia, Becky and Joy. LOL @ Carolyn. I must say it did have me shaken in my shoes. Don't like to think about the what ifs with this close call. We were quite aways up in the woods with no phone. #9699229

frank w. degenhardt September 27, 2011

That is tender loving care. I love the way the one is snuggled against the bigger one and the way the hood of the bigger one forms like a protective umbrella over the little one. Fantastic find, photographed with outstanding colors and textures.
Have a wonderful day my friend. #9699678

Monnie Ryan September 27, 2011

Yikes! I like snakes, but I sure wouldn't want to run across a guy like this in the wild! Love the 'shroom capture, though! #9699916

Heather Loewenhardt level-classic September 27, 2011

And you lived to tell the tale. I like the size differential in the subject. It looks like a youngster leading on a parent. The background texture frames the light tones of the focal point beautifully. #9701603

Terry Cervi level-deluxe September 27, 2011
