Visiting Arizona for the first time, a friend took me on a short walk through the Saguaro National Park in Tucson. Having been raised in the area he told of a rattlesnake den that was sure to have some snakes rising from hibernation to sun in the warmth of the day. He warned, for good reason, so follow his footsteps as we left the river wash and ventured deeper into the desert. With trained eyes he spotted this one rattler that he estimated to be a "four footer". Given he was a snake breeder at one stage of his life I was plenty satisfied to take his word for it. First rattlesnake I've seen in the wild. Captured here for your pleasure.

Jen, I was lucky enough to get a quick tour of the area from someone who knows it well. Thanks for the tips on the area! They were echo'd by my friend there. In a future trip I'll have to visit the Sonora Desert Museum. No time this trip.

Oh, I can assure you Jess, that I zoomed in fully! I was standing on the top of a pit. The snake was about 10' below me. Thank goodness for a long lens.

Wow Rob. One false move and one would be looking for a doctor. It's amazing who well this guy blends in. I know it's there and yet it still is very well hidden in its' enviroment.

Great close encounter and capture. It takes about two weeks for them to replenish their venom after they have bitten something. I do not want to every feel that bite. I did try eating rattlesnake meat a few weeks ago at a roundup here in Georgia. I has a lot of bones and tough meat but the taste isn't bad. Fine capture.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.
