Snake Update!

 Last week I posted that the snakes are out and about.  I offered this picture of a Bull snake that was near  our house.  I was sent a few messages asking if that was a Rattler or if Bull snakes are poison.

Look at this picture (below) of a Rattle snake that was on my street today. Close but different and no, Bull snakes are not poison.

Rattlesnakes can strike more than their body length and the smaller ones are more deadly.  

Sixteen Foot Tall Prickly Pear

Sixteen Foot Tall Prickly Pear
The other day I mentioned a sixteen foot tall prickly pear in a blog post.  I was sent a comment that questioned this.  Here is a picture directly in front of our front door, keep in mind that I'm six feet tall and was looking straight up when I shot this!  What you see is over my head.  Enjoy!

Our Front Yard in the Snow

It snowed out front today. I caught this shot of our Virgin of Guadalupe with the cactus and mesquite trees.
