Arizona Trip with lots of pics

[mrcanada21]

Hi,

Here's a bunch of pics from my trip to AZ in April. It was a blast but if I could go again I would go in July or August (road cruising is way better then).

The first find of the trip, a western diamondback.

Yeah did you set traps or something? How many people were with you?

"How the heck could you possible catch a fence lizard or swift???!!!! Those things are nuclear fast!!!!!!!!!"

Lots of patience. I found a few under junk as it was getting dark so they were a little easier. The chuckwalla was a miracle in my opinion, those things are rediculously hard to photograph/catch. I'm glad you enjoyed the pics...
