Rattlesnake Mountain

Austin is done with classes until the end of August and so we have decided to take advantage of our time together. We decided we would do something active outside everyday after work. Today we went hiking up Waterfall Canyon. After hiking uphill for about an hour and a half we were rudely interrupted by a rattlesnake in our path. Needless to say, we did not proceed any further to the falls.
On our way back down the mountain, safely from the rattlesnake, we decided to take a picture of Austin by the stream. After I took the picture, Austin said, "Sweetheart..." in a warning tone. I thought there must be a spider by me so I went running back to him. I was shocked to find there was another rattlesnake right under the rocks where I had been standing. Here is the picture I risked my life for.

After that, as you can imagine, we hustled down the mountain. We're going to stick to paved walkways for a while. Well, maybe...
