Again same species "yawning". They are actually stretching and realigning their jaws after a big meal

A tight crop of the above just because. How often doing you get this view?

The snake with the mouth open is just too cool of a shot. I see snakes here and there biking around around, but so far just rattlers and coral snakes - neither I am too fond of seeing, especially when barreling down a rocky trail at high speeds... But I do want to because less scared of non-venomous snakes at least. They are cool creatures.
You are lucky. I have yet to see a rattler or coral snake, or any wild venomous species. Don't get bit. I know about 10 guys between 40 and 50 that are field herpers- hobbyists that look for wild reptiles and amphibians. They don't keep them. Just find them, maybe take pictures then let them go,.

Great shots!! I would frame and hang the moss photo.

Great photos as always. I hear you about gas prices and travel... it's all fun and games until you're at the pump again. 😅
