Coachwhip

Spotted him on the road just south of Joshua Tree National Park in Southern California.
When I tried to pick him up I was amazed how quickly these snakes can move.
I was never able to get closer than this photo suggests.

Great shot. I like the way the snake blends in with the background. Coachwhips are rather high strung and not so friendly, so it was probably good that you didn't catch it. Voted.

Great catch here, though.
