Description
garden snake came out of hibernation to enjoy some New Year's sun....*update* Not only was this guy a finalist in the 5th annual Smithsonian contest. It was on display there. Also just recently was contacted by the Smithsonian Channel, they want to use it on an episode they are making. Should be out sometime early next year. More to come...

Now "garden" and "snake" are two words you never want to hear in the same sentence... Great capture though. tu

was a real treat to shoot, since everything is so ugly around here this time of year.
i've been very unispired lately...

I was laying on the ground about a foot away from this guy....acting like a real "Steve Irwin", so my kids say.

Thanks so much Io, he was actually a very cooperative model. I think he must have been fooled out of hibernation. It was 60 degrees yesterday.
