Rattlesnake Dance


When Mary Ann’s computer crashed this morning, we decided to go for a drive in the country. Checking for wildflowers is a good alternative for sulking over a blank screen. We visited many of our standard locations, and while crossing county dirt roads near Round Mountain, Texas I stopped and backed up. “What did you see?” she asked.

“Rattlesnakes having sex.”
I pulled up close, and sure enough, those were rattlers. Not wanting to get out of the car and limited by my cell phone camera, I did the best I could. The rest of the images are uploaded here. Play it in slideshow mode.
