Rattlesnakes always give me the creeps, especially when I realize that they could be nearby and I wouldn't notice them because of their camouflage markings. At the desert dome at the Henry Doorly Zoo.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Oh, man, the point of focus on this one is outstanding. I had to enlarge it to spot his eyes and he looks almost ready to pounce. At least nature provided us with a warning to one being close by. Of course, the babies don't have rattles (and their poison is just as deadly as the adult's) and sometimes the adults' rattles don;t rattle for a little while after molting. I don't like snakes either, Jeff, particularly these guys, but it's going on my monitor nonetheless... at least there'll be glass between him and me. ;oP

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

He doesn't look happy, you'd better be careful he's ooking right at you

EEEK = that is close. A super shot, quite amazing in fact..those eyes !
I live in a country with NO snakes. I don't think I could cope knowing there may be some lurking.
I did hold a snake once in Singapore - surprisingly warm and surprisingly heavy.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
