The garter snakes come out to find the sun and warm themselves, and there were several out today. I chased a couple around, but couldn't get a good shot. Then, suddenly there was one right at my feet, and it wasn't trying to get away from me like the others. I was able to take it's picture. But it was acting strangely, thrusting it's head around this way and that. What's going on? Oh - could it be that the giant is standing on it's poor little tail? I guess I'm really torturing the wildlife now!
And then, after I lifted my foot off it's tail, I turned around and saw this discarded skin just lying in the grass. I love the patterns in the skin, and enjoy collecting them when I find them a little newer than this one.
