Living Patterns in the Sand

I was looking at my photographs of rattlesnakes and found this one that was under my apple tree. Actually my sister’s dog found it. ~ Roberta Bryant 2021.

“The gopher snakes (also known as bull snakes) and Coachwhip snakes are still here…Notice the snake made a nice place to lay and wait for prey. They coil up and wait for prey to come into their space and they strike.”

This is a “picture of a vacated spot was out on the BLM land behind me.” Roberta Bryant, July 7th, 2021.

This circular patterned print was right in front of a Coyote den… the snake must “have been a big one from the print he left. So if you find a circle like this it was a rattlesnake.”
