Natural State vs. Natural City

15 Aug This morning while eating waffles I looked out my window to see my neighbor the red fox (click attached photo and zoom in) then a buddy and I went for a short hike on the edge of town where we saw over 50 prairie dogs, a vulture sitting on a dead tree like the ones on Jungle book, some deer, and a BIG-o rattle snake (see fuzzy photo from my phone). We had just seen one of those informative displays for snakes, and I wasn't sure if it was real or part of the display, but upon closer inspection from its 6 the big daddy awoke with a lightning fast spin around to me and rattled, my heart stopped for a few seconds and every brezze in the leaves I heard the rest of the day was another snake in my mind. When we came back by he was joined by two smaller rattlers, I decided to assume they were real as well without closer inspection. It was pretty awesome for a morning IN TOWN.
