Thanks for the contribution - appreciated. One shot only, though ... That's how the challenge works. You can edit your post and put the other one elsewhere. The roses tell the main story IMO - but I find the other shot very good, too.

It's so beautiful, Karen... Would this happen to be a 'Milk snake'?
The ranger said it was a Sonoran Mountain King Snake. I'm no snake expert. Today I almost stood on a rattlesnake. He was sun bathing on the path in front of me as I turned the corner. I didn't get a clear picture of him though as we both ran/slithered away as quick as we could in opposite directions. By the time I recovered from my fright the rattlesnake was hiding under a bush. He was much bigger than I thought he would be.
