Starting from where I was RV camping for 9 days, at Canyon Vista Campground, I hiked down Sandy's Canyon and then turned onto the AZT southbound. Went up the hill a ways before turning back. On my way back to camp I saw a small rattlesnake in the trail, not far from the campground. It was not aggressive, so I got some photos as it slithered away. I have a hard time mustering up any fear of these creatures.

I got a few photos of the flowers, too. I had only the phone with me, which doesn't take the best photos.

It was a bluebird day, and I enjoyed the little hike. I'd been doing a lot of bicycling on Lake Mary Road with a family member, and it was a nice solo break from that.
