After my
luncheon at Virginia City, heading back to Reno, I pulled
over to admire these horses, silhouetted against the brilliant blue
Nevada sky. As I put my eye to the camera I heard the distinct
"report" of a rattle snake... very close. I lowered the camera and
spotted a big rattler coiled and bobbing about 10 feet away. I
slowly brought the camera back to my eye and tried to center on the
snake, but it was gone. At that moment I did not know where the
rattler had slithered off to, so I turned and high-stepped back to
the car! I regret not getting a shot of that guy... |
