Surprise !

I was walking this morning when I noticed I was being watched. I think this is some type of rat snake (Pantherophis sp.).

Ronald Losure replied to Keith Burton:

Thanks, Keith. There are lots of snakes here, and I almost always have my camera. Photos are usually difficult, because the snake almost always sees me before I see the snake.

Thanks for the visit and comment, Esther. It rained heavily the previous night. Maybe it was trying to get out of the water.

Checking out what you were going to do -- like the Red tailed Hawk did to Mr C -- Mr Hawk didn't take his eyes off Mr C until he came back inside. Mr C said "I'm too big for you" as the hawk remained perched on the chimney next door !
