I saw two today...both garter types one light tan with brown stripes about two feet long the other light green about three feet long. I live in a rural area it has been wet and cold until very recently they are sunning now and getting ready to breed and today it was very warm and their populations are great this year (plus we haven't mowed the pasture yet). If there is one sort of unique cool subject that I could do it would be the snakes because this year there are millions around here but man they are quick. Maybe I will try breeding season is upon us. The best ones would be the big fat moccasins sitting on a tree but those snakes are hot you'd need a long focal length. Some of them are beautifully colored and patterned. Out there in Cali you guys have rattlers from what I understand...we have them here too but one doesn't see them very often unless you know where to look.

The moccasin is a relative of the copperhead and the only snake to have bands on it's belly...pit vipers...mean and nasty when backed into a corner or stepped on but otherwise real flighty.

We have Copperheads and Rattlers in this area. I have seen both but can't say I have ever gone hunting for them to get a picture.

for the bird shots I take what I can get , they move as soon as you get every thing just about correct.

I've noticed lately, that my camera seems to be a bird repellant of some sort.

 

[Roy1961]

I really love that purple colored grass.

 

[Roy1961]

its different Moab Man, it must be a summer thing, I didn't notice it until lately.

 

[Roy1961]

here is 4 I shot to catch the young guy breaking his board, you need to look in the mirror to see him in the first shot, instructors always get in the way, they are shot through the window.

When I read this this morning I must have still been asleep. I read glass and I searched this entire thread looking for the purple glass.

I thought the same thing until I re-read the post.
