Snake photos! I spotted this guy zooming across our deck, and I got some pretty cool shots - original photography

I'm pretty sure he was chasing down some dinner, and when I opened the door yelling 'Snake!' I unintentionally intervened. He just froze there for like 10 minutes while I got closer and closer. I feel like we were buddies by the end of it. Or at least had a mutual respect. I hope you like the photos!

Now that is a handsome garter snake! They are alert snakes. You sure captured some personality in this one!

These are some really fantastic snake photographs!  You've done a really impressive job capturing the snake in the center of the shot - great job!  Weren't you worried about becoming his dinner as you took the shots?  It's great that you were able to get such clear and amazing photos!

 Followed :)

Thank you! I was pretty sure he was a non-venomous garter snake, but admittedly I wasn't too sure about it haha. :)
