Also pays to watch where you put your hands when climbing. I've had
plenty of encounters with Western Diamondbacks, and since I'm aware of their
striking distances I can get reasonably close to take a good photo every so
often. I'd like to get one to stay still long enough so I can set of the
tripod and get some telephoto shots of the head.
Another find on that trip was nothing out of the ordinary, but I did take
the time to get some detail closeup photos of a White Ratany flower:

It has a very bizarre form, looking a bit like a roaring male lion.
