Oh My...I had no idea that you had such creatures near by. While quite beautiful, also dangerous, and these look like you got fairly close...wow... Intense eyes, you be careful. Curious were you birding when you got this, or did you set out to photograph them...
I don't think I have ophiophobia. I don't think there's anything abnormal about my fear of snakes. I think I have a fearful respect that comes from a survival instinct - grew up sharing my environment with two deadly species.
Seen like this in a photo I can admire their beauty and admire the steady nerves of anyone who captures their image.
What a beauty! Love those intense rust-colored eyes! :)
ReplyDeleteIt means that it's for me -ta:)
ReplyDeleteThats why I love Ireland - there're not them!
Happy St.Patrick's, by the way:):):)
Lieber Bob,
ReplyDeleteich mag Schlangen - aber nur aus der Distanz. Anfassen würde ich sie niemals.
Tolle Bilder.
Liebe Grüße

Beautiful snake Bob.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Bob. I would have given it a wide berth. Not keen on Snakes, Worms or Slugs.
ReplyDeleteQuite a coincidence Bob! I was out looking in what I thought was a likely place for Adders this afternoon but with no luck.
ReplyDeleteYou got real close to him, that takes lots of courage.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos.
All the best :)

Grand shots Bob. I just don't associate your forests with snakes. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteWow, pretty sure I'm one of those people.
ReplyDeleteThat is a really beautiful snake through your lens.
Have a great weekend!
Nice shots Bob, I know they are not easy to find.
ReplyDeleteNice find Bob :-)
ReplyDeleteHi! Bob
ReplyDeleteWow! Did you find a snake on the way!
