red-sided garter snake

thamnophis sirtalis parietalis

 

first macros w/ the new camera body today and first time shooting mirrorless - holds a lot of promise, especially for the sports photography, however there's a learning curve as i gain familiarity w/ it and figure out how to get the results i want

 

can't wait for the bugs to start showing up again as the temperatures continue to trend upward

 

snakes are one of the first subjects i find, usually hanging out in the shrubbery, basking in the warmth of the sun
