Nemesis

As I looked out my kitchen window this morning to see if the humming birds were around yet I noticed something coming out of the trellis. It didn't seem to bother the birds at the feeder too much but I am going to keep an eye on it anyway.

You are brave lady, close encounter... face to face. Great capture, not necessarily a great find.

[PasadenaRose]

Wow, I DO think it's a great find, but I'm a little strange. LOL
Do you know what kind of snake it is?

It's a lovely snakey portrait. :-)

Great capture...I kinda like snakes....lizards...not so much....

[Leslie]

thank goodness you're on the other side of the window you snake lover you... My picture would have been so blurry.....probably from the screaming...

@anazad511 I was about 15 feet away! Thanks so much, Ana!

@pasadenarose I KNEW you would like it. I think it is a rat snake . Thanks for the feedback! ;~}

[katy]

@maggotx Thanks. I was thinking about you when I shot it and how you would like this but NOT if it were a lizard! that is just so strange to me Mag.

[katy]

@lesip LOL! Actually I went outside to get this shot because he was faced away from the window. He was about 10 to 15 feet away though so no problem.

Nice shot :-)

[Rick Schies]

Well that is a pretty one, just looking for some bugs

[katy]

@hebe Thanks, John. I appreciate you taking the time to look and comment!

[katy]

@digitalrn I don't mind him eating the bugs . I don't want him to eat the hummingbirds!

[Deb]

Nice shot, Katy! I would not like it if I had snakes that close to my house!

[katy]

@deburahiru Thanks, Deb. I don't mind as long as they stay outside.

I guess by attracting small birds to your garden then you may be attracting snakes that eat small birds to your garden? Cool shot.

@bobfoto Thanks, Jason. sometimes frogs sit on this trellis too so I am hoping he might be after those instead of the birds

[Jason Daniels]

@grammyn - poor froggies.

[katy]

@bobfoto Yea, but a snake's gotta eat
