Life amid the rocks

Rattlesnake encounter today.

Black-tailed Rattlesnake




























As death lurks under the rocks, there is surprising life lurking amid the rocks, waiting for a good soaking rain to resurrect it. These Living Rock cacti are invisible except when they're blooming, and they're blooming by the millions right now.


I had never noticed the head of a Filigree Skimmer dragonfly before. It looks like a banded agate. Pretty cool!
