Comments & ID Thoughts

It was a hot nighy in Albuquerque. The area of the photograph is a very dry and hot desert with sand all around the area. We saw it at night coming from the kitchen. We are thinking it came from the backyard which is sand not grass or it may have been hiding in plants recently purchased. Picture 3.
