HOLY MOLEY!
The scales....... the fork tongue...... [looks like it's waiting to strike] the colors...... all are so crisp and sharp. It looks mean. *biting finger nails*
Agree about the angles, color is spectacular. I can' get over those scales! So perfect coiled up in the sage.
The 3rd pic...... *almost fainted* looking at the one-step-away distance........... feels like sheer terror inside my bones.
Brings back an old memory hiking on South Lykken Trail at dusk in Palm Springs back to the waterfalls, [all happened in a matter of seconds] was one-step-away from a rattler, had my dogs with me on my heels, and I leaped as far as I could backwards...... to put as much distance as possible between us. I imagined the entire desert in October was carpeted with rattlers. My mind was on my dogs to keep them away from that rattler + more....
Made up a quick game of -chase me- and my dogs chased me, as I ran the heck back down 2.2 miles, darting and dodging rocks, jumping over bushes, all the way back to our vehicle. I was terrified.
Your 3rd picture brought back that memory.
So lucky you had your head down looking out.... for rocks? lol
Fantastic pic's!!!! Scary, but fantastic.
How far away were you when you were shooting the pic's?
