Time: 1:15 a.m. Must post before bedtime. A very fun, but long day of socializing with my sib and his wife, and then having additional friends over for dinner with lots of good wine, good food, and dessert plus chocolates.
Main day's event was a return to Miller's Marsh (new to them, return for me) for a combination hike around the marsh and walk in the Big Field (yes, it's in caps and on the map) where my friend and I had gone snake hunting a few weeks ago. Posting favorite photo from the marsh area in main album ( http://365project.org/taffy/365/2013-08-07) and successful snake find in my extras album.
I will be behind in commenting for the next few days, but trying to keep up on posting. Thank you so much for your visits and comments on my recent bug and the Nairobi Chamber Chorus shot. I really appreciate the time you take to comment and enjoy reading them so much!
@libertylady Heehee! I never really loved snakes, but am pushing myself this summer. And thanks to Vicki (my new friend who introduced me to the CMU biological station covers that you can lift to find snakes in the Big Field), I know were it's safe to shoot them and where they are likely to be. That takes away the startle factor which has always gotten to me in the past.

Thanks so much for viewing this and suggesting I'm brave and noticing its blue eye. I've learned that it is blue right before it molts (sheds its skin). Then it's eyes clear up and go back to the brown color.
@olivetreeann I actually was able to get about 4 of the 6 species on the island, but the others weren't in nearly as clear a focus. It means I have to keep trying!!
@calm I meant to respond yesterday and forgot to, but I loved your comment so went back to it. I wondered if anyone would make the connection and see the humor in the title.
I cannot believe that I have seen 3 snakes here although I am told they are everywhere.
