Snakes alive



I hope none of you have snake phobias. I almost stepped on the little Garter Snake in the top photo as I walked into the parking area this morning. I haven't seen many snakes at the marsh, so was happy to see this one, which held still while I took its picture. Then it wasn't long before I saw the second and a bit larger snake (bottom photo) on the path itself. I scooched down, set my camera's burst setting after I noticed it flicking its tongue out, and was able to catch this shot. I don't know if the blue cast to its eye was just the reflection from the sky, or if there were some problem with it.
