Coiled Rattlesnake: Photo Of The Day

WALNUT CREEK, CA — “Look deep into nature and you will understand everything better.” ~ Albert Einstein

If Sylvia Rodriguez submits many more photos, this Patch editor may give up hiking for good!

On Thursday we published this:

Raptor Vs. Rattler: Photo Of The Day

And Friday morning, can you believe, she encountered the huge, coiled rattlesnake pictured at the top of this story. Once again, the snake was in Lime Ridge Open Space. Perhaps consider wearing waders over your hiking boots if you're hiking there?

Thanks, Sylvia!

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we'd love to feature it on Patch.

We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty and fun that is Northern California, and that show off your unique talents.
