Rattling Sunset
Shot of a Blacktail Rattlesnake in a Sonoran Desert mesquite landscape during sunset. One of the coolest rattlesnakes you could encounter, at least in my opinion, because of their nice olive coloration. This one got a bit nervous because of our presence, but it's always amazing to capture those rattling moments and the timing couldn't been better, with the sunset just behind those trees.
