While exploring a remote canyon, I heard a little “buzz” right beneath me.
Realizing it was coming from the boulder on which I was standing, I took a peek and was greeted by the first ridge-nosed rattlesnake I’ve encountered. Having been enchanted by these rattlesnakes for years, the introduction was beyond thrilling! While photographing this little beauty, a stunning Arizona sister butterfly landed two feet away from the snake and spread his/her wings. This was a truly magical moment!
