The quality is poor, but thought it was interesting. This is a quite young Eastern Milk snake, sitting in the bottom of a six inch (high and wide) white tub. Didn't want him to get run over, but got a few pix and put him back in the woods. The bottom of the tub was rather shabby, so I changed the background. If you ever encountered the Karsh portrait of Winston Churchill, taken in Ottawa, Canada, during the Second World War, the snakes grimace and attitude is quite similar.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

But I don't see the cigar Doug. It does look as though it was on the grass. Good one.

You are a brave one, Doug! I like how you worked the background and the expression is priceless. He and Winston would have gotten along just swell.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

I did fully open it Doug but then quickly closed it! I wouldn't want to encounter that but a great shot.

It just needs a cigar, Doug.
I will let you do the milking. :)
