Scary Snake Flipping His Tongue Around

six word story.

Ok, so perhaps it's not supposed to be scary. Taffy says no snakes on Beaver Island are poisonous. But ALL snakes on the island where I grew up were poisonous. So I'm a bit squeamish about photographing and posting snake photos.

Here's Taffy's full-bodied snake, taken from a cool POV, straight on: http://365project.org/taffy/special-photos/2014-08-14

That's because he can't flip you the bird! lol It's his path.

Fabulous closeup but it gives me the shivers as I am not keen on snakes. Well done for getting this shot with his tongue out!! Fav!

Oh Taffy is right this is scary.

[Alyssa]

mom. I cannot believe that you not only got close enough to take this shot, but also spent time examining it while you edited. Maybe don't show this one to Obaachama. (but it really is a great photo)

[Trish Plutz]

I can't believe you got this close!

[Lisa Villella]

You are brave! Nice shot!
