It rained last night, and I cannot resist putting the "first" footfalls in the open desert. I invited Luppy along and she never stopped grinning! We wandered down some paths we hadn't been on for a while and were merrily strolling along until we saw this ...
The snake was coiled but not moving. Rhu and I stopped in tandem. While I was pondering if the snake might be dead, it's head turned in our direction. Rhu and I started backing up while I fished around for my phone to take a picture. Just then Luppy came trotting down the road towards the snake ... fortunately she stopped when I gave the command, but she looked hurt.
I took a picture and three of us gave the snake a wide berth as we continued on our walk. It was nearly 60 degrees, barely drizzling, and we'd only walked half a mile ... I don't think any of us were ready to head home just yet.
We avoided this path on the way home and no one was worse for the snake sighting.
