Reptilian Reminder

Reptilian Reminder

Just a little reminder that the Chihuahuan desert can be a dangerous place.  I was driving toward the Chisos Mountains and noticed ahead of me what looked like a traffic jam.  As I got closer, I noticed the truck was a National Park Service truck.  I drove slowly and glanced to the right side of the road to see one very angry snake lunging at my car as I passed by (look at the lower left of this photo).

In my single-minded pursuit to photograph the beauty of the park, this was a reminder to me to be ever-observant of the more venomous side of the desert.
