You wander outside on a seemingly normal sunny morning, looking for a photo, and you never know what you'll see! This morning the sun was out early, and I found a yard full of snakes warming themselves - it's been a cool spring for them, too.
I saw 7 or 8, but I know there's many more than that hanging out in my gardens. Usually you just hear the faint "shhhsss" of the snake's passage through the grass as you walk by.
These are the harmless Garter Snakes - they have a bit of variety in their coloring, but seldom get more than 3 or 4 feet long. And they eat lots of pests!
