The Famous Leaping White Snake of Irondequoit Creek

Actually it's a fishing line that has gotten caught on a branch over the creek. Over time moisture from the fast-moving creek has caught hold on the line and frozen.

 

The "snake" is moving back and forth in the slight breeze created by the white water. When I used a higher shutter speed to freeze the "snake" the water around it looked terrible, but I think you can see the serpent pretty well here.
