Cool looking rocks!Went hiking this morning in the Red Rock Coulee area (Alberta, Canada). Located in the badlands, the area contains large red spherical sandstone concretions that have eroded out of softer bedrock. These concretions measure up to 2.5 metres (8 feet) across and are believed to be among largest in the world. Thankfully, didn't kick up any rattlesnakes this morning.

That's neat. I remember seeing those last time I was out there. Almost reminds me of the Eratics west of Okotoks.

Went hiking this morning in the Writing on Stone area (Alberta, Canada), a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Unfortunately, I didn't get any petroglyph pics this time around.

You have to watch your step while following the walking paths. I found these critters on one of them (if you look closely, you can see another eye near the bottom-right of the visible snake). I tried to get them to pose a little better so I could get a better picture, but rattlesnakes don't follow directions very well and I was too tired to physically move them into a better position for the perfect pic.

Is that a big ol water moccasin? I don't see a rattle on the end of the tale.
Was pretty excited to catch this shot
No, it's a water snake ... I'm no expert so I'm not sure the specific type of water snake. But definitely not a cottonmouthIs that a big ol water moccasin? I don't see a rattle on the end of the tale.
