I decided to stay close to home this morning. There was a nice breeze and it wasn't TOO hot, so it was a nice hike.

On the way back I channeled my inner @gummo and almost stepped on a d'back -- it was stretched out on the side of the trail and I did not see it until my left foot almost landed on it. I missed it by about one inch, which was too close to comfort. The snake never rattled and never moved until I got past it.
