Today was exciting--11 snakes, a turkey, Cranes and lots of spring flowers.
I was standing next to my bicycle just watching into a little trail side puddle, looking for frogs and tadpoles when a little flicker of a tail caught my eye. It was a Garter Snake. I just watched it for a while and then another one appeared. Actually it had been there but now I was sensitive to the yellow and black lines. Pretty soon there were more, then a water snake showed up. Some of them moved and there were so slick, silent and smooth--they were beautiful! I moved on and sure enough, if I just studied the ground across from the pubble I would see the yellow and black lines and then some of them would move. It was magical.
