Wandering Garter Snake

Well, it took a number of shots before I managed to catch the tongue coming out, LOL! Unfortunately, my camera focused on the body instead of the head and tongue : ) Thank goodness for 18x zoom (and a crop), ha, ha! After seeing f4h1m's comment, I thought I'd better just add that these Garter Snakes are harmless, for anyone unfamiliar with them. To me, a snake is a snake - harmless or venomous is beside the point! Very definitely not my favourite creatures : )
