Description

@rsalinas2370 @ericisley and I were out this morning to photograph dragonflies when we came across about a 3 and a half foot long Western Diamondback. The snake was in very thick and deep grass but we wanted to get a shot or two of it. Robert went back to my vehicle to get a snake hook while I tried to keep the snake in one area. We then moved the snake into a more open area for a few shots. One of the images shows Eric keeping the snake out in the open temporarily. By the way, all of us were wearing knee high snake boots as we usually do in our area. After a few shots we let the snake go on its way and we went on our way.
