Snake in the Grass

Harmless little Garter snake. Probably looking for some friends to get ready to hibernate with.Gotta keep your eyes open around here!Use the magnifier to look him in the eye. :)

Thanks Ness! Maybe not the best image from today.. but it was a cool experience that I had to share!

[Katie]

Great find! Would have spooked me.

I am scared to death of snakes. This kind of shot will never appear in my project! Great shot for you though!

[Carole Boyles]

Great capture. The detail is wonderful, can see the pupil in it's eye.

Awesome Capture! I love snakes and wish I could capture a photo of one myself!

[Hope D Jennings]

@brighteyes55 I was lucky this season and photographed this one and a black racer. I love them too.

What a find - well done :)

[Hope D Jennings]

@tremerryn thank you!

Well spotted and captured. It looks well camouflaged.

[Hope D Jennings]

@onie_m He really was Leonie.. I almost took a header trying not to step on him!

[Allison]

Incredible capture, although I would have been more scared of him, than him of me :-)

[Hope D Jennings]

@allisonraposa thanks Allison.He really is a harmless little thing.

[Debbie]

oooh!! Well spotted - ours are about to come out of hibernation so they will be aggressive and nasty for a while looking for a feed and a mate

[Hope D Jennings]

@debilz Oh yeah! Stay away from a spring time snake looking for love! :)

I posted a picture of a snake we found in our yard today, too. Great shot of the snake.
