| Yes, there are rattlesnakes up that road! My girlfriend used to live up there in the tree line... LOTS of rattlesnakes! |
...and as I try to take some shots of the tumble weeds blowing down the road, the wind is blowing so hard I can't keep the camera straight...and it rips my ball cap off my head...I had to run 30 yards down the road to catch it...twice!! I gave up! Ah, it was still fun!

Linking up today with Life According to Jan and Jer's Friday Fences and SkyWatch Friday~
Happy Easter weekend everyone!
I had to smile at the mental picture of you chasing your hat down the road...good shots!
ReplyDeleteoh i don't like the name of the road! there is a place here that my husband wants to hike to, called panther falls...on the way is some rattlesnake over-look and they say if you toss a rock down all you will hear are rattlers, yuck! this is not a hike i want to take!
ReplyDeletelove the pics!
I love that dramatic sky in the first photo. And Rattlesnake Road? Well, it does have a bit of character for a name, doesn't it! I like it!
ReplyDeleteI love the first shot. One time I was driving on the freeway near LA. The Santa Ana winds were blowing strong, and the traffic was going slow. A tumbleweed blew right up on the hood of my car right against the windshield on the drivers side. Fortunately, a few minutes later the strong wind whisked it away before I had to start driving again. I sure didn't want to get out of the car in all that traffic. - Margy
ReplyDeleteSure wouldn't want to live on a road named that! We have a few little rattlers around here but luckily I don't come across them very often.
ReplyDeleteI really like that first shot..like the name of the road...and I have had the wind blow till I could not hold steady....so I know what you are talking about.
ReplyDeleteEven though you captured the weeds being blown - one just doesn't get a sense of how much buffeting and hat blowing goes on! So, do you end up with an indentation on your forehead from tight baseball caps, like I do?!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful fence photo. But barbed wire, rattlesnakes, and tumbleweeds? What a day!
ReplyDeleteThat first shot is great!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleterattlesnakes!!
ReplyDeleteI'd stay in the car :)
Margy~I'd stay in the rig too!!
ReplyDeleteDreaming~(BTW...I'm so glad they got the comment reply thing fixed!!) Tell the truth, I mostly wear a big hat (buckaroo or cowboy hat), not a ball cap. The hats have a stampede strap...then I don't get the indents on my forehead so bad ;~)
Your comment on my post about the Amish horse brought me here. I'm delighted to find your blog. I have just spent more time then I could spare reading your archives.
ReplyDeleteLove your photos and the stories that go with them. Lots of barbed wire shots this week and yours is one of the best. I have never had any luck photographing barbed wire. I will have to go get some more practice.
Nice photos! Some of the best photos can be captured under the most adverse of conditions, and you have some good ones here!
ReplyDeletei'm so happy you found friday fences because i just love your work. i love the view you get to see. just mind blowing. i'm in heaven every time i see them. i love it!! i love the clouds & a rattlesnake road. scary. i think i would stay away. i would be scared out of my mind. can't wait to see what you come up with next. enjoy your weekend. i love McLeod's Daughters ... wonder if i should read your review before i wrote this... i wish it would have gone on for years ... only 200 & some shows & gone. it was over too quickly. ok, i left a huge comment. take care. bye. (:
ReplyDeleteToooo scary for me...I would turn n run as fast as I can. Great shots.
ReplyDeletegreat photos! Love the barbed wire shot the most.
ReplyDeleteLove the wide open country view, but I'll remember to look down, too, lest the snakes get me!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!

Great meeting you today and thank you for checking out my site. Happy Easter Trails to you and yours. xoxo from The Prairie.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you didn't get blown away taking these wonderful pictures! The first one is my favorite with the stormy looking sky!
ReplyDeleteI love Oregon and I love that old fence against that beautiful sky~ Happy Easter~
ReplyDeleteGah. Snakes are my fear thing. Most people have an intense fear of something and snakes are mine!
ReplyDeleteI love the photos though... and I'm impressed you didn't lose your hat!!
