Woods...

Can't wait to get in there as soon as the weather turns cool. Do you know how much anti-venom for copperhead bites cost? A single vial can cost upwards of 14 grand - that's $14,000. Expensive! Just a few of our poisonous snakes around here - https://www.postandcourier.com/news/snake-bites-at-record-pace-in-sc-but-no-theyre-not-drought-thirsty/article_fbcb7d02-ef74-11e9-8b46-e33e49212a7f.html
If you don't have the money do you die?? Oh my, don't know what's more scary, risk of snakes or only rich surviving!!!

Nice monochrome woods

@30pics4jackiesdiamond I am guessing if you don't have the money and I certainly don't, they give you the anti-venom and a great big medical bill along with it. What your insurance doesn't pay - you pay - maybe over a period of time, or maybe it gets turned over to collections. So, you just don't want to risk getting bitten if you can help it. Thank you for your comments. I appreciate it!

@marlboromaam I appreciate our NHS even more now. Stay safe!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thank you, Jackie! People can go into deep debt with medical bills. I sure don't want to and then get kicked out of my home. I try to stay safe! Copperhead bites are much more frequent because people don't see them. They are camouflaged very well and can look like a pile of dead leaf clutter.

Guess that should be at the top of the list of reminders to be alert when walking in brushy areas. Those $$$ got my attention!

Oh wow, You kinda scare me with those snake stories.

@milaniet Yes, be very alert! Copperheads won't warn you like a rattle snake will.

@dutchothotmailcom One of the downsides of living out in the country is snakes. I saw a black snake a few days ago. They startle me but aren't poisonous.

Certainly not a place I would like to be, i would have to die. Lovely tones of the woods.

yikes!

I think that I would be inclined to leave the area alone as would be sure to get bitten.

@ludwigsdiana Thanks, Diana! I just don't venture into the woods in the summertime around here.

@koalagardens Yes! Best to avoid the woods during the summer around here.

@wakelys I just don't venture into the woods in the summertime for that reason.

A good enough reason to stay out of the woods! Like the b&w edit.
