There is something strangely attractive in the eyes of the snakes. The snake slipped away but his eyes, having held mine, still stare in the grass Kyoshi Takahama
He looks like some creature from a sci-fi movie! I thought he had an arm and a flared tail. Curious and very interesting image!
Except for his sticking out of the water, he blends perfectly into the background. How did you spot him?
A juvenile northern water snake, not to be confused with a copperhead. The copperhead looks similar but is venomous.
I was sort of OK with it until the snake slithered out of my through the lens sight. I moved quickly out of the area then:) Thanks Marina!
I screamed in my mind the moment I saw this photo haha…lol Snakes make me nervous. Great shot though 🙂
Me encanta la foto. También es cierto que no estoy ahÃ, porque me temo que hubiese huido en espantada. Un saludo desde Tenerife.
Yes, I thought she was kinda cute too, although a couple of feet away is close enough. And yes, Year of the Snake;)

Thank you! A perfectly appropriate sentiment. The compelling yet uncomfortable stare of a snake.

Thanks!
Aw, what a little sweetie. Great capture, Elena.
Thanks Richard:)
Nice to look at in a photograph, not so nice when in our garden as a child….
Agreed;)
Wow … excellent.
Thank you!

His tail moved just a bit;)
Wow, look at him! Very cool. I did think he had an arm for a moment and was very startled! 🙂
Now THAT would be a capture:) Thanks Cindy!
Ooh surprised* … heart beats faster ..
Lovely lapis lazuli eye 🙂
Thank you! I understand the quickened pulse, but he does have nice eyes;)
Thanks for the introduction. I don’t recognise this creature!!

I’m pleased you have the confidence to distinguish one from the other Elena!!
… a tricky close encounter, but with a great result, Elena!

So did I! My version of living dangerously:) Though this is really a small, mostly harmless snake.

I almost fled as well, but I’m trying to be braver. Thank you!
Awe, he or she is sort of cute. Showing up for a Year of the Snake photo-op, perhaps?

Ha ha ha , Elena you are very courageous. 🙂
I’m taking it in baby steps Yoshi!
