But they are cheeky, rear up and stick that tongue out at you as if they were a cobra! I really have problems with critters that take you by surprise and then won't run when confronted!<BR/><BR/>Just over the mountain range to the east is the state of Montana, where we spent many weekends fishing along the creeks when I was a kid. That part of Montana is full of rattlesnakes, so I was told always to wear a hat in case I came upon one. The theory being you could throw the hat and the snake would strike it while you ran. Took a lot of fun out of the nature walks, let me tell you. I can only think of one time, though, that we actually came upon rattlers. There was a wide expanse of large boulders next to the river where we planned to fish. As we neared the boulders, we could hear rattling - LOTS of rattling! Needless to say, we went elsewhere to fish.<BR/><BR/>Oh the joys of country life!The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8477480.post-27678517700731506802009-01-05T23:53:00.000+11:002009-01-05T23:53:00.000+11:00Hi DijanneI love your work and have been admiring ...Hi Dijanne<BR/><BR/>I love your work and have been admiring it for quite some time.
