Why you watch your step in Arizona

While out in Huachuca Canyon shooting portraits, we ran across a perfect reason why you really need to watch your step while out doors here in Arizona. It is a Sonoran Whipsnake which is not venomous, but I'm sure that didn't matter all that much to the lizard that was about to be eaten. I'm pretty sure since the sounds of foot steps distracted the snake from it's prey and the lizard was able to run off very quickly...that there is a lizard that would be more that willing to call me friend. Well unless it fell for the snakes tricks and ended up being dinner anyway.

I hope that everyone is having a great weekend, and always remember to watch where you are stepping.
