I found this old barn traveling along the Cour d’alene lake. As I walked up to the entrance of the barn, I heard what I thought was sprinklers turning on. I looked down and there it was a HUGE rattlesnake. So this barn was nicknamed The Rattlesnake Barn.

The Crotalus ruber, or Red Diamond Back Rattlesnake comes in two distinct color classes: Desert or Coastal. This is another very good example of the Desert color class.

This image was captured in Jupiter, Florida / This is an Eastern diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus adamanteus) it is a pitviper species found in the southeastern United States. It is also the heaviest and largest of venomous snake in the Americas and the largest rattlesnake. Specimens over 7 feet (213 cm) are rare, but well documented. The color pattern consists of a brownish, brownish yellow, brownish gray or olive ground color, overlaid with a series of 24-35 dark brown to black diamonds with slightly lighter centres. Each of these diamond-shaped blotches is outlined with a row of cream or yellowish scales. In proportion to its length, it has the longest fangs of any rattlesnake species. These snakes forage actively or lie in ambush for small mammals, especially rabbits and rice rats. Their diet also includes birds. Prey is struck and released, after which they follow the scent trail left by the dying prey.

I found this guy among the reenactors at Wyatt Earp Days in Tombstone. He wasn’t the most dramatic nor the fanciest dresser, but he looked like an old rancher whose grandkids were now running the ranch. He looked like a guy to sit on the porch with and listen to stories of the good old days. Taken with Panasonic DMC-FZ18. Featured in Cowboy/Cowgirl Art 7/12/09 / Featured in Out of the Past 7/7/09 /

When I was growing up one of my best friends father used to tell us all kinds of stories about his life. I remember him being a very great story teller and I always looked forward to hearing him. A few months ago one of his tales that I had completely forgotten popped into my mind. He had just gotten out of the army and had decided to take a road trip out to California on the FAMOUS ROUTE 66 As I remember, it was dusk and he was driving through Arizona and came up over a hill and lo and behold right in front of him was a misty apparition. He said it looked like a woman in a flowing dress holding a snake in her hand. Well he drove right through her and came to halt on the side of the road. Looking around the highway he saw no sign of the ghostly figure. My friends father wrote it off as a hallucination, but I felt compelled to recreate it in my own vision.

The snake is one of the most archetypal symbols, a universal sign of healing, life, death, and rebirth. It is the epitome of transformation, and though often seen as a symbol of death, we forget that death is part of a larger cycle that includes rebirth. / Death in the TAROT, especially when depicted as a snake, does NOT in any way, shape, or form imply a physical death. However, it does indicate a transition, a shedding of the old so a new can be born, reflecting a kind of resurrection at play within our lives. / Snakes are amazing reptiles. From the moment they are born till the moment they die, they never stop growing. This is why they shed their skin; they’ve outgrown it. The snake’s shedding of skin reminds us that periodically we must shed what no longer fits or suits us. This cycle of death and rebirth, reflected in the shedding of skin, is often symbolized by the ouroborus, the ancient image of the snake swallowing its own tail, the symbol of the eternal cycle. / Before snakes shed their skin, the eyes cloud over, giving the snake a trancelike appearance. To ancient shamans, this indicated the ability of the snake to move between the realms of the living and the dead. When snake appears in our lives, it often reflects opening to new realms and awakening spirit contact. Like the snakes, these new realms and new spirit contacts often first raise their heads up during dreams. / Although snakes have two eyes, they do not see very well, relying on their sensitivity to vibrations and to smell. Do you trust what you see; trust what you feel? You will feel the changes arriving before actually recognizing them. / Snakes are also symbols of change and healing. They have speed and agility, so when snake comes into our life, the changes and transitions occur quickly and are soon recognized. Release any fears and do not resist the changes because they bring with them new expressions of creativity, wisdom and strength. When snake appears, we will find opportunities for shedding the old and resurrecting some part of our life. Photograph taken 7/29/2009 of a Western Rattlesnake after sunset with a flashlight, so that he may be dispatched elsewhere, unfortunately – with respect and reverance (he was a little too aggressive) he was killed, obviously not before this shot, just outside our front door. Daeth and all his friends – COLDPLAY

Common names: timber rattlesnake, canebrake rattlesnake, banded rattlesnake. The Crotalus horridus is a species of venomous pitviper found in the eastern United States. This is the only rattlesnake species in most of the populous northeastern United States Potentially, this is one of North America’s most dangerous snakes, due to its long fangs, impressive size and high venom yield. Before striking, they often do a good deal of preliminary rattling and feinting. Canebrake rattlesnakes, are large, heavy bodied snakes with the characteristic rattles on the end of the tail. Adults range from 30-60 in (76-152 cm) with the record being more than 6 feet (183 cm) long. Canebrakes are usually gray and may even have a pink hue and a pinkish, yellow, orange, or brown stripe running the length of the back. Timber rattlers are typically more brown or yellowish and may even be black. Both forms have solid black tails that appear almost velvet and black chevrons on the back and sides with the point of the (V) pointing forward. The babies are miniatures of the adults but are usually a lighter gray and have only a single button (rattle) on the tip of the tail at birth. Males get larger than females. They have a wide distribution in the eastern United States but the species is absent from most of Florida. This snake occurs in a wide variety of terrestrial habitat including lowland cane thickets, high areas around swamps and river floodplains, hardwood and pine forests, mountainous areas, and rural habitats in farming areas. They typically become reduced in numbers in highly urbanized or areas of housing development. They become active above ground by late spring and can be seen periodically until the onset of cold weather in late fall. Canebrakes are active during both day and night but spend the majority of their time coiled in ambush positions ready to capture prey. Their prey is mainly small mammals, but may include small birds, frogs, or other snakes. Although capable of consuming other rattlesnakes, the most common snakes they eat are garter snakes. These rattlesnakes hibernate during cold weather. Timber rattlers congregate in dens in mountainous areas whereas canebrakes often overwinter alone in stump holes or beneath ground cover. They eat mostly small rodents when young, and large individuals kill and eat squirrels and rabbits. Females usually do not reach maturity until at least 5 years old and typically wait at least 2 or 3 years between litters. The live young are born in late summer or early fall around the time that courtship and mating occurs. Large male canebrake rattlesnakes are often seen in late summer or early fall in search of mates. Although reaching large sizes, most individuals are docile when encountered in the wild and often will remain coiled or stretched out without moving. If threatened, however, they will not hesitate to deliver a serious bite.

This shot was taken in the wild, not a display specimen, nor in captivity. The Mojave Green has a reputation for its very aggressive attitude and considered very dangerous. I was nowhere near as close as it appears, thanks to the zoom lenses we have at our disposal!! Many people dislike snakes and reptiles, but I think it’s a beautiful animal and has its rightful place in the scheme of things. It was left alone to continue its life in the balance of nature.
