Rains begin

Post by RCampbell »

Arizona is an incredible state. The annual rainfall we all hold our breathe for is just starting up.
and with that rain will follow the people who chase our cold blooded passions.

Remember while out there to be safe, be civil, and follow the laws of the state of Arizona. Herpers are not bad guys, so lets make sure that we hold the bar high, and that we take time for the newbies, and interested people to educate, not chastise them.

simpleyork... agreed, it was spectacular...best looking male I have personally ever seen. Looking forward to being able to photograph many more!

regalringneck, thank you for the kind words. They are appreciated!

MarcLinsalata, thank you for the kind words... Arizona is a magical place, no matter where you go there is non stop beauty and wonderment at the landscapes, vegetation and animals to be seen here.

Eimon, It has indeed been much too long my friend. I hope that I will be able to shoot your way more than once in the coming year. I hope you and the family are well!

Andy, thank you for the kind words!
