I saw this big snake right in the middle of the road right before the campground so I pulled over and got out to shoo him out of the road. Went back to get my camera and he was already nearly hidden in the leaves. I had to lay down for this one and I was really hoping he'd stay put and he actually backed up and disappeared. Took this yesterday.
How daring you are Paula, I could never do that as I would not be able to get up in time maybe! It sure gave you a great photo op, well captured between the leaves.
What a good thing to do - and not something some people do. I must admit I would think twice before getting face to face with one of our snakes - but I found out that he is non-venomous - and he looks quite delightful. :)
it was worth it.
