This week’s DP photo challenge is Creepy.
There are many creepy and crawly creatures in the National Parks in the South West of the States.
These include some reptiles.
Also, some snakes.
Some of them are quite big and look creepy too.
We dislike snakes as we never know what may happen next.
So, we usually stay away fro these creatures as far as possible.
These pictures were taken by my wife on the trip.

Your wife is a brave woman for capturing these creatures! 🙂 Wonderful!
Yes, she is. Thanks for writing, Susan!
The snakes are creepy! But I’m finding the lizards oddly cute for something a little creepy! Great captures!
I like the lizards too and therefore put them in front of the snake photos!
Good choice!
🙂
The snakes make my skin crawl!
Haha!
My kids and I would love to encounter those critters.
They are real interesting!
Your wife is braver than I. You do creepy so well. Hugs, Barbara
Yes, she is a brave woman! Thanks 🙂
Reblogged this on IdealisticRebel's Daily View of Favorites.
Many thanks for reblogging this on!
Your wife is really brave and captures the snake picture. We all know basically what poison snake has. Even though she followed and taken the picture. Convey my wishes to her.
many thanks for the kind words, I will convey the message to her!
Ah, the American Southwest: Where everything that walks or crawls can kill you.
Yes, it can be dangerous!
Just looking at these photos gives me the creeps Michael. I really don’t like snakes.
I will not be uploading any more snake photos!
That’s a relief.
🙂
They are all beautiful. You are lucky to have seen them:) So pretty.
Glad that you like them!
Great pictures. Just a question: do you use mobile phone or a special camera when taking the photos during traveling? Thanks.
Just a small compact camera with a zooming function.
The snakes look like biiiig rattle snakes…
😦
Yes, they are rattle snakes!
(PS. just read your comment as to the equipment you use. Good. The smaller the better. Zoom is not yet very good on phones. Yet, that’s all I use)
🙂
Problem with some of these compact cameras is that they may consistently over expose the photos and do not have the “taste” of the more expensive / heavier ones.
Right. on another plan, this summer I used a french android phone. Very overexposed. I’ll stick to my I-Phone next time.
Don’t like cameras which always over exposed as the details are lost. IPhones are better, I took pictures with them for recording purposes.
And to me they’re also very practical to carry around. Back pocket and that’s it. Plus one gets instantly connected to friends and family thousands of miles away. 🙂
Yes, smart phones with excellent photo capabilities must be on the way!
Let’s ask our children to keep their eyes open. They will be the first to know. 🙂
That’s very true!
I agree with an earlier comment. I find the lizards cute..but snakes are creepy!
It appears to me that they are all creepy!
Snakes are very creepy for me … only one snake I really like and that is the green Wood Python. Great entry.
I am afraid of snakes!
Michael, for this post I was going to post that .. terrible fruit I tried out in HK. The durian – that was creepy in more than one way. *laughing
Yeah, you mentioned to me about it. I don’t like the fruit in taste and smell either!
Horrible … I suppose that is why it’s good for us, but … never again. *laughter
Haha!
