Today's hike included seeing the same California king snake as a month ago. Good to see it surviving and thriving. Look at those pretty stripes. What great survival instincts.

Roadrunners are uncommon to see, tough to catch--ask coyote!--here's one from today's hike. Funny birds. Old-looking, small dinosaurs.
It waves its tail for balance, display or warning.

Warmer weather brings out reptiles. Any day now, there's a good chance of seeing a rattlesnake. Here's a young one, and like 95% of encounters, has no interest in engaging. Senses me, gets out of the way. Pole for scale.
