Cool find! Lucky you, and great capture! Maybe he's the reason I dont see too many ground squirrels around there.

petesie		07-Aug-2004 19:50
And you stayed long enough to take a picture? Wow, I'm impressed.

Anna Yu		07-Aug-2004 18:03
Scary thing. Snakes scare me a lot.

Cheryl Hawkins		07-Aug-2004 17:37
I love this photo!

Robin Reid		07-Aug-2004 17:27
Wow Herb... what a surprise. Makes for an excellent shot. And, of course, this is where you must have really appreciated your long lens although you didn't take full advantage of it.

Isolde Parrey		07-Aug-2004 17:17
Wow, I didn't think there were any rattle snakes at Torrey Pines Park. Great picture!!

Larry Ahern		07-Aug-2004 17:09

Hope you didn't scare that poor snake too much.

Katie Chew		07-Aug-2004 15:28
Nice photo.! Scary adventure.

Guest		07-Aug-2004 15:25
I would never go on a walk/hike again.

Guest		07-Aug-2004 14:52
Hope that you didn't kill it...

katwilkens		07-Aug-2004 14:46
Yikes! It looks huge. You can almost hear the rattle.

Guest		07-Aug-2004 14:35
What a brave person you are to stick around long enough to take this shot!! :)

Gary Blanchette		07-Aug-2004 14:21
Wow Herbert! You are quite the adventure person.

Guest		07-Aug-2004 14:20
Hey, nice photo. Even though I don`t know what I`d do if saw it face to face.

Gayle P. Clement		07-Aug-2004 14:19
This is scary!

Guest		07-Aug-2004 14:19
What a great shot! You managed to get the entire package, shadows and all. Well done.

Melanie		07-Aug-2004 14:17
Very kewl!!! That's the best snake pict I have seen on here in a while. I assume it moved away? Or, did you have to go around?
