Nope, no rattlers in the Edmonton area, but this was an unusual find along a trail in the Whitemud Ravine. Luckily for Brooke & I, the owner had long left their old coat behind in the reeds.

So this shot is a true manipulation, as the subject is posed in the nearby grass (and a touch of HDR to bring the grass out), to give the look that the snake is about to strike.
