Took a few pics last weekend...

I really like these... Especially the second one. Is that a Water Moccasin?

Thanks! Yeah it is. My daughter almost stepped on the first (big) one. Thought I was going to have a heart attack. Single file line behind me after that (and in any future hikes).

I would be taking a big pointed stick on my next hike too! But it was a very productive hike. Great pics.

EEKK a snake, you should have warned us I love the perspective of the second picture and the first picture is great show you can actually see into the water. Great work!

Very nice shots, I really like the second one. If I had seen the snake first the only photo I would be getting is a "blur" from me running in the other direction!!! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone! The originals are posted on my Zenfolio page in my signature. Pics are a little larger.

Minus the snakes that looks like one great spot to visit. I love the first and second shots very much. Great work!

These are great, but even thought the second one makes me feel dizzy I love it the most! I feel like I am there in the middle of it all. Awesome job!
