Rattlesnake

Was lying on the path and thank god I saw it soon enough. I had still enough time to get the camera with the telezoom attached out of the camera bag and take a couple shots before it disappeared in the thicket.

very cool. I've never seen one in the wild and am jealous.

Looks like a healthy specimen too! Nice shots.

Great shots - especially the second one. Good, you've had a telezoom lens with you ;-).

Very nice OWLP. Lovin' that second shot.

Thanks all for commenting.
Wouldn't use my macro lens here, about 1.5 m is the closest I get there. :)
