Life at Arcosanti is full of surprises. Every day seems to bring something new and interesting. And, since we are in the desert wilderness, rare and sometimes dangerous creatures visit. A green mojave rattlesnake hides in a cinderblock right next to the vaults. Arcosantis official snake handling team caught this beauty for relocation. And had a 'show and tell' demonstration at morning meeting to explain how to act when coming across a rattler. Don't run, stay calm and quiet, and withdraw gently.

The Arizona road runner is normally a very shy bird. It's a lucky thing to get a glimpse. This visit of a roadrunner on the bakery terrace is definitely an occasion out of the ordinary.
