Another day, another snake...
Yeah, after just capturing a small pile of serpents last night with Red-Pepper down by the lake, Monster Truck and I found another Northern Water Snake today. There is something special about interacting with the different creatures in the world, but you can really only enjoy them for so long. With photography, it allows you to capture the creature and keep it in a special way, that requires no care and is much easier to store than the actual animal. Plus, it allows the original creature to stay in the wild where it should be.
NORTHERN WATER SNAKE
I enjoyed such an experience today with these beauty down by the creek. It was a pretty good sport when it came to having its photo taken, and I got a few good images. Here are a few of my favorites.
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Do you get creeped out when you come across a snake? How do you even see it? Is this type of snake venomous? We have black snakes in Florida and although I love animals, seeing them in the wild while least expected would freak me out, almost like seeing a mouse.

Beautiful snake and great pictures. I woudn´t have the balls touching it. We have sometimes snakes here in our garden. But I´m avoiding them. Not sure which is venomous and which not. Let us know when you find more. Resteemed.

Nice catch Papa Pepper! Best proof shot I've seen yet! That was better than mine with the Garter Snake. And you took that shot yourself. Impressive! Love those water snakes.

Keep going, you'll get there. Interestingly enough, Garter Snakes will do proofs with a smile too.

Your "proof of" photo would give me a heart attack, even if I knew the snake wasn't poisonous. An attacking snake is scary when its that close to your face, at least it would be for me. :D
Another wonderful post, thanks for sharing it. :D
God bless you and the whole pepper clan. :D Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! :D
