This one took a little work. It was very early in the morning and the mosquitos were just ridiculous, and she was on a ledge that didn’t give many options for a stealthy approach. I ended up having to pretty much crawl on my belly under some low hanging branches through wet grass to get some good in situ shots of this Crotalus lepidus klauberi catching the first sun of the day.
