A slinking surprise

as I wanted to close the garage door. There are many around now as the warm season starts.

Fortunately not poisonous and the girls enjoyed seeing it. My daughter would have run ten miles.

As long as they’re not poisonous I think they are wonderful!

[CC Folk]

My friend KC would have been running passed your daughter. She is scared to death of snakes! Snakes are not my favorite but I am more afraid of bugs and spiders!

[Annie D]

It's beautiful 😍

[winghong_ho]

A nice composition and neat shot. At least it isn't a poisonous variety.
