We're suddenly seeing a lot of snakes around here. Yesterday I walked across our lawn, and a small and swift snake (no idea what kind, except clearly it wasn't a rattlesnake) slipped away ahead of me.
A day before that, we were walking Darcy on the road below our house and saw a snake lying in the sun.
We made sure to scoot it off the road so it wouldn't get run over.
After Don found those two snakes on a pile of lumber the other day, we noticed one of the snakes had "blue" eyes. He said it was a sign the snake was about to shed.
This blue-eyed snake ducked itself it a slot between some boards.
We joked that the next time Don needed a 2x6, he'd find a snakeskin. Sure enough, yesterday he came in holding a fragile and perfect snakeskin.
The level of detail on snakeskins never fails to amaze me.
Nature is amazing.
