Snake in the grass

I came across this beautiful red bellied black snake while out for a ride (motorbike) in the country this afternoon. Always a treat to see any of our wonderful fauna when we are out and about.

I would be scared to meet him but I'm not used to see snakes while on my walks - you don't find them here, either. He looks so nice and the red belly is wonderful. A superb capture.

You're much braver than me, I'd be rapidly heading in the opposite direction, rather than stopping to take photographs :)

A handsome and sleek specimen :)

I would not want to come upon this guy unexpectedly..... or even expectedly. I am NOT a snake "enthusiast". Nice shot, however.

[Kathy]

No thanks. It looks to be a big one. You got a good shot of it.

[Nina Ganci]

very brave of you to still stop to take his portrait, I think I would have just driven on ... very fast

Great shot - well done :-) love the flash of red :-)
