Signs of Spring


The seasons of the desert are quite distinctive. We don't have the feet of snow or the endless weeks of sub-zero temperatures that other areas of the country have (thank goodness) but we have seasonal changes. One that I particularly enjoy is the reemergence of my scaly friends when the temperatures start to rise. This beautiful Gopher Snake was cruising around our yard on two consecutive mornings - I love spring!

  6. Pretty!

    I've been a snake fan since I was a kid. In fact, I joined the Boy Scouts so I could go on camping trips and catch them. (I succeeded, too...much to my mom's chagrin.)
