Nice. Looks like that snake is floating on that bush.

ReplyDeletePerhaps it's the Irish influence of the Parnell community near us, but we are loaded with snakes here.
We have an abundance of these gorgeous Ribbon Snakes, some Garters, and several Little Brown Snakes; many the size of a pencil.

Beautiful pictures! My favorite is the Big Horn Deer. I love all the colors in the picture.

ReplyDeleteThanks for admiring the Desert Bighorn Sheep. The dark green in the background is Juniper. The light green is Sage. And of course there's that indescribable color of the soil in Western Colorado and much of Utah.

A beautiful creature, indeed. Yes, I bet you see a few of them in the woods. I once saw a huge one running from me the desert in California.

ReplyDeleteGlad you like my Ribbon Snake perched atop my "Birds' Nest Spruce". I see most of my snakes in our perennial gardens, or "running" away from my lawn mower. Seriously, we have an abundance of Garter Snakes, Ribbon Snakes, and Little Brown Snakes.
Thank you for exploring the WWFN Archives.
