Sorry about that.

I stepped on this guy as Wolf and I went for our walk. Then I had to take a bunch of shots, hoping to get that tongue sticking out. Alright...I didn't get it. I guess he was still mad about being stepped on. I did apologize.

[Kerri]

Fav! Glad he didn't bite you! Great capture

[Lisa Pouncy]

His head does look a bit flat ;o) Great shot although I don't think I would have got so close xx

[Denise]

Oh....very cool shot. Love the curves and scales. Well done.

[Jean Tookey]

That eye has a very determined look. I think I would have run a mile if I had stepped on him. A good shot showing clear details of the scales.

[elkehochban]

You stepped on him and he didn't bite you? Amazing! Awesome details - I think I can see you in his eye!

[Mike]

He looks mighty upset about being squashed...

[Beverly Moolman]

Great shot! Love the composition and dof!

[Cherrill]

Saw this on PP. What a gorgeous creature. Wonderful colours and textures on his body. Great to have a chance to get so close up....do you know what type this is?

[Margaret Tryon]

@Cherrill @victorypuzzle I believe it's a garter snake. Not poisonous. I'm not really afraid of snakes so I enjoyed taking pictures of him.

[Leslie Manna]

Brilliant Maggie! He looks really ticked off though; that's quite a glare he's giving you.:D I don't think he's accepting any apologies. haha Saw this on the PP........Congratulations! The detail is splendid......the pattern on his back puts me in mind of an American Indian beaded artifact. Also very glad to know that he was no worse for the wear after being trod upon. All my best, Les x

[PamSnaps1]

@potsbypam lol! for some reason I thought he bit you so you had to take another type of shots! He looks so mad!

[GINA]

great capture of him Maggie, glad he didn't bite you.... they make me squirm!!!

[Michelle]

OK I'm NOT a snake person, you are the brave one to get this shot. Congrats on the PP

[Ellen E]

[Devrin Wimberley]

[Judith Greenwood]

So I'm not the only person who wants to take a photo of a wild snake! Not sure I'd be too calm after I stood on one though.

[Deb Sulzberger]
