As some of you who have been here for a while might remember, I have something of a history with rattlesnakes… One came in the front door of our house a few years ago, and I caught it and gave it to animal control… still alive… which was freekin’ scary. Then, there was the time we were visiting my daughter, Jessica, and were walking in the desert and Mollie, my other daughter, and I almost stepped on one. There are other stories, but I will leave that for now.
Well, there I was, last weekend, once again visiting Jessica in Arizona, and, after our renaissance fair adventure, she took a nap, so I went to a park near her house that I hadn’t gotten around to visiting on any of our trips there.
Even a fake rattlesnake is scary… especially if it is made of cement and metal and is like 50 feet long.
This park was sort of awesome… it had lots of art, like these metal sculptures…
I loved the bat and flowers one.
And the hummingbird and flowers one was nice…
And so was the butterfly and flowers one…
There were also some metal lizards scattered around…
I suppose that is a horn toad… (also known as a horny toad)…which is a spikey lizard…
There were two of those, and they looked like little dinosaurs…
Which, when you think about it, is kind of what lizards actually are.
Once again, I am, for a change, posting the photos of this adventure in order, rather than building to a climax or grouping things in weird ways… so later we are going to see some flowers and the sunset, because that is what I saw next… see ya later, I hope.
