If you didn’t know to look for a Sonoran Gophersnake in this photograph, or have many years of pattern recognition practice, you’d never know this guy was here. How many times that happens as you hike, take out the trash, run in the park, and walk in the woods?
Many.
You can't see me!

Dang!! You’re right! If I wasn’t alerted to look for the snake in that picture, I would have missed it! As it was, it took a lot of looking before I found it.
