Can you see the rattlesnake in this photo? It’s coiled up, in the centre of the picture. (Click for a larger image)
Neither could I, and I almost stepped on it. It surprised me when I heard the distinctive warning rattle. It did not strike out. I’ll post some close-ups later, along with some interesting photos of wild flowers and unique landscape features.
I took these photos yesterday. Does anyone know where this is?
Hey Bob, you are in Red Rock Coulee south of Medicine Hat. The huge concretions are pretty incredible and seem from another planet. That is very lucky to see the rattlesnake. That is a great corner of our province that has such incredible ecological and cultural diversity with Writing on Stone and Cypress Hills in the vicinity. Did you stop at the Windmill museum in Etzikom. It is a wonderful museum with a great collection of all things related to wind power.
Agreed.
I don’t know where it is, but I look forward to finding out so I can go there! Those round boulders are super cool!
