Cold, But No Big Rain Yet... So we're all out and about! (Even the Snakes!)

It's been pretty cold outside, lately - but we haven't gotten any significant rain, and the OC Parks have remained open, much to the joy of all of us who hit the trails this weekend.

Even the snakes were out and about, despite the chilly air!

Here is a Western Patch-Nosed Snake (Salvadora Hexalepis), found on top of Serrano Ridge, near the Intersection of Little Sycamore and Serrano Ridge, in Laguna Coast Wilderness Park (parking at the Nix Nature Center, Click HERE for information about the Nix Center!). Photos were taken at 1:45 pm, on 14 December 2008.
