Rough green snake

Such a beautiful snake. Beautiful photo.

Thank you very much, micritter. He is also very patient. He stayed right here while I ran to the house to get my camera.

Peggy C taught me (among many other things) to always have my camera with me. I try to follow her advice as much as possible :)

Peggy's advice is good. I try to keep my camera with whenever possible. In this case, I was working in the wet grass and didn't want to bash my camera or get it wet. I got a few photos with my phone just in case - haven't looked at them yet.

He is so handsome !

Thank you very much, Pam.

I'm amazed and (always) impressed. Pam, you can tell a male from a female even among snakes???

No R !!!

I just wrote a default "he"... no idea what he/she/it is !!

A failure of the English language - no indefinite gender pronouns. Ich auch. Keine Ahnung.

Super capture!

Thank you very much, Andy.

Ohhhhhhhh I am very impressed. I would have run away !!!!!!!!!

Thank you very much, Marie-claire. I did run away - to get my camera. The snake stayed in this pose until I returned.

J'aurais bien du souci s'il se trouvait dans mon jardin, je les crains !!!

Probably it would be a good addition to your garden to catch insects and spiders.

Beautiful snake and a great capture.

Thank you very much, Doug.

most beautiful

Thank you very much, Annemarie.

What a wonderful shot of this snake that doesn't look 'rough' to me.
