Camouflage- timber rattlesnake

Big timber rattlesnake! Excellent camouflage. 

I was fortunate enough to get to see this big timber rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus) yesterday at Table Rock State Park in South Carolina. It was only a few feet from the trail, and difficult to spot. As I photographed it, the few people that passed by did not notice it until I pointed it out to them.
