Here's a pic of one her partner ran into. It wasn't as friendly as seen in her photo. She almost ran into it and had enough time to take her camera out for this shot:
QS, that's just about the scariest rattler shot I've ever seen. Black and white ringed tail, so I'm assuming it's a western diamondback? If I saw one in that pose up close, I'd just crap my britches. I never saw the one that nailed me before he struck, so at least I went to the hospital with clean undies. Mom was proud.
