Thank you to everyone who got me to 1000 likes! Never thought I’d make it. Been ready to quit many times.
Spotted this rock rattler in of all places—the rocks! Of course there’s plenty of rocks in Big Bend. Enough to satisfy the most discriminating rattlesnake. He didn’t look like he wanted to chat so I just snapped a picture & bid him adieu. I’ve come across many snakes in the backcountry. They don’t want to bite you any more than you want to bite them.
I got carried away taking photos of Mule Ears on a b’packing trip
New Year’s resolution is to spend time with my guitars. I’d say “quality time” but that’s wishful thinking. Haven’t played in a while due to life events & broken fingers. No longer have that guitar. Prefer my Gretsch
A city park in the city where I live
Not to be confused with the Dog Canyon in Guadalupe Mts. NP, also in Texas
