I was studiously looking for insects on bloodroot flowers when the ground suddenly became alive with snakes sliding through the leaves. I had stumbled garter snakes emerging from a winter nest site. There is something disconcerting about getting eye to eye with your subject when there are a dozen snakes at your feet. These docile reptiles have been given a worse reputation than big bad wolves.
Oh, what a great story Dale. Yes a mass of slithering snakes, even harmless ones, would give most people the hebejebes!
ReplyDeleteGreat pic of course.
My old home in southern Arizona, we had to be a little more careful about the snakes (poisonouse) but of course we did not have a pile of leaves to complicate the picture.
thanks
