~My first Rattlesnake & Sunsets~

2009.06.15

Diamondback Rattlesnake






Tonights weather picture KGUN9 10pm news in Tucson.



#8 was tonights weather picture KGUN9 10pm news in Tucson. The haze (smoke) in the sky is from a brush fire 50 miles southwest of Tucson.

Saw my first Rattlesnake early evening at Saguaro National Park, a little nervous as I slowly started taking pictures. Of course being in a hurry I had the wrong settings on my camera at first. Then a ways down the road I passes what I thought was a stick, backed up and it was another Rattlesnake. Stayed in the car for this one.
Then it was time for the sunset, haze on the horizon made for a nice orange sky.

threepeas What did the news station do for weather pics before you moved there? Great pictures...especially under stressful conditions! Jeff was close at Michigan...moving in the right direction at least.
