Thanks KarenL! It's been a long winter and I can't wait to start seeing some life around here again.

I have always liked snakes. But this is garter (popular) and nice photography along.

Thanks Yasser. :) It was a really cute little snake... and I've never gotten a shot of one with its tongue out before.

Great detail! Love the tongue.
