Now what?

Sabino Canyon

A Coachwhip snake that we had go up a tree to, unsuccessfully, avoid capture (at least digitally).
These snakes usually move extremely quickly under brush and are hard to catch/photograph. This one
decided to climb a tree and watched us from that perspective.

Me too! Much smaller tree though. He kept taking laps around the crown. He only seemed to stop when the sun was behind him.

Fantastic image, Sam. They give me the creeps, especially one that is as long as a football field. V
