i know that they were there. the bobcat, the diamondback rattlesnake, coral snake, scorpion,
gila monster, tarantula, gecko, horned lizard, the black widow spider. but, they were hiding.

A LITTLE SOMETHIN' 
Those naughty creatures.
I'm with Laura and Linda. But it's a cool picture. It's haunting, but it doesn't make me want to visit. Those places I like to admire on people's blogs! :)
I agree with Laura. I don't like thinking something terrible is going to sneak up and get me!Great picture – such beauty.
The creatures you mention are the ugly-beautiful. We tend to fear them, and they us; yet we all of the same Maker.To me, the American Southwest is one of the most beautiful places.
i don't see them either. but those are the scariest dangers. the hidden ones.
