It was a different subject today photographing a Common Garter Snake. There was one that gave nice views and I did not turn it down for a photo. It was out for about 30 seconds and then back in the rocks it went. It was a beautiful morning with plenty of sunshine, pleasant temps early with little wind. Images were taken on July 7, 2024.
The Common Garter Snake…
When found…
That tongue…
This time of year Garter Snakes can be found coming out of hibernation and enjoying some of the mild temperatures of spring. They are a little sluggish or dormant but some are starting to come alive. I found some today on a walk and took some photos of them. I also found a Brown DeKay’s snake that was about the size of a large night crawler. I assume these are Common Garter Snakes, please correct me if I am wrong, thank you. It was a mostly cloudy day with some rain at times, cold temps at 34-37 degrees. Images were taken on March 24, 2022.
