Snake in the Lake

Water snake says cheessssssssse.( You can see him best by enlarging.)

[Ness Santvoort]

well spotted and captured,

[Hope D Jennings]

Thanks Ness! The children at the lake spotted him. Cant take credit for that. :)

[Cindy Genn]

oh, Hope... only you... remember the one you used to take care of that lived outside the door at BCC... you had the children put up signs warning everyone not to disturb it while it was catching some sun...lol!

[Amanda Powell]

Ok. Remind me not to go to that lake!!!!

[Allison]

I was showing Aaron your shot, he said "jeepers creepers it looks huge", and then he wanted me to enlarge it, and take a second look lol Incredible capture, Hope.......wow! Your narrative made me smile :-)

[Hope D Jennings]

@cindygenn hahaha! I had almost forgotten! I still have some snake skins from that snake!

[Hope D Jennings]

@froggie0628 LOL. They are harmless...unless you are a fish.:)

[Hope D Jennings]

@allisonraposa Thanks Allison! Tell Aaron the children at the lake were actually playing with/feeding him! They would catch little fish and dangle them over the snake until he took it!

[Allison]

@mzzhope I told him....he thought it was cool, and said "so the snake lives there" :-)

[Cindy Genn]

oh and I almost forgot... no need to invite me to swim at your lake anymore! Our swim days will take place in my pool... salt water and all!

[Amanda Powell]

@mzzhope About like the spider I posted on here earlier today. They may be harmless but they will make you hurt yourself!!!! Lol

[Milanie]

That's one good sized snake - great shot.

[Stephanie]

I love how he texture in the water almost mimics the texture of the snake!

[Scott]

Great capture!!! Can't believe you got it's head out of the water and portions of his curved body as well.!

[Hope D Jennings]
