Jeanette,
Snakes make me freeze. Then I shake and cry until someone drags me away or it slithers away! The picture of this rattler will have me checking where I step the rest of the night. Gotta look out for those carpet snakes...lol. Thanks for sharing this adventure!

Wow, that rattle snake is of pretty decent size too! My next door neighbor had one in his front landscaping a year or two back and he called me over to see it. He is always yelling at me when he sees me outside reaching into the brush when I want to clean it up and he showed me this snake and said this is why I tell you all the time to poke a stick into the brush first. Well, words of advice heeded and now I poke a broom stick in first before I use my hands. Good advice you pass along and a great write....

Be always safe,
Karen

Ugh, I hate snakes and even pictures of them. This is a horrible snake, too big for me. My grandson Jon has a ball python, which I hate too, it is brown like this one, but smaller. He loves it, I don't.

Oh my, sometimes we just need to enjoy nature and be aware of the dangerous aspects of it, definitely leaving our cell phones for emergency only situations...
Good to read you again, wonderful adventurous poem.
