Thread: Pair of snakes in my yard (photos)

    Those are such great pictures.

    I'm so impressed you were able to get to your camera and get pictures before they disappeared. We have a lot of snakes in our yard and I always run for my camera in hopes of snapping a few pictures, but they're almost always gone by the time I get back.

    Wow, their coloring is beautiful! I'm not so sure I'd be that brave to get so close whether they're harmless or not. (I know, strange thing to say for someone w/the ID of Medusa, huh? I like snakes in culture, not necessarily up close and personal. LOL) Thanx for sharing these pix.
    Blessings,

    Thank you for the comments and so glad you enjoyed the pictures. I was really thrilled to be able to watch them and get some really nice shots. Of course I wasn't as close as the photos of them are, I was using my 300 mm zoom lens, but I still was able to get closer than I would have thought without frightening them. I think they were just so caught up in their.. err.. relationship.. that they weren't as alert to the surroundings. I was standing on the sidewalk in my socks too and probably made no alarming vibration. I do know once the female got in the grass and I was following her, she suddenly seemed aware of me and took off.

    Hopefully they will stay safe. A neighbor across the street from me a couple weeks ago was bragging to me about killing one in his yard . I hope he wasn't trying to impress me.

    I am soooo impressed by these pics!! Those snakes are beautiful!!
    Do you have lots of snakes in your country? And do you recognize them right away?
    I would be so scared, and would scream all neighbours awake . I am glad to know that there are very little snakes here; only vipers, and only in the woods
    I miss you enormously Sydney, Maya, Inka & Zazou Be happy there at the Rainbow Bridge

    These pics are amazing! I had to touch one today when I moved it off the road and actually screamed (LOL). I'm a bit scared of them but I find them fascinating! Thank you for posting these cool pics. They really are kind of beautiful.
