Mojave or Pacific???

A rooster went missing yesterday. I was walking around looking for him when another visitor appeared. I love snakes and especially rattlesnakes. I never kill them. This one looked slightly green and I don't know if it was a Mojave Green or a Pacific rattlesnake. Either way, this was a beautiful snake. He started rattling immediately and then coiled beneath the first bush. The camouflage is incredible and the snake was nearly invisible. Very much like the rooster that was never found...
Another day ends in mysterious sadness...
and dangerous beauty.
