I nearly ran over this Garter snake this week while cycling 230 km in Quebec. It was stretched out on a cycle path, soaking up the sun. After posing for a few photos, it slithered away into the bushes. Garter snakes are harmless to humans, unless you try to pick one up-then they may bite.
Thanks very much for the visit!

Wikipedia: The city of Nan's most famous wat is renowned for its cruciform ubosot which was constructed in 1596 and restored during the reign of Phra Chao Anantaworritthidet (Chao Nakhon Nan No.62nd) (1852-1892).
It is the only temple which was built as if it were on the back of two immense snakes (or Nagas). Each of the four entrances is preceded by a small corridor topped by a finely decorated, point-shaped structure (underlining the royal origin of the temple) and is equipped with smoothly carved doors; with Chinese demon guards in the east, flowers in the north and forest life motives in the Lanna style in the west and south.
The wat's interior is impressive. It is also a good example of Thai Lue architecture. The structure of the roof is supported by twelve teak pillars decorated with gold on black and red lacquer and elephants' motives. The ceiling is also finely decorated. The flowered altar resting in the center of the bôt supports four Buddhas of the Sukhothai style in the pose of Bhūmisparsa mudrā
Well preserved murals of great value illustrating the Khattana Kumara Jataka on the Northern wall and the Nimi Jatakas on the Western wall as well as scenes of the local life of the time when they were painted by Thai Lue artists during the restoration of the temple at the end of the 19th century. Europeans can even be noticed: a reference to the arrival of the French to whom the East of the Nan valley area was yielded in 1893. The style is rather distinctive and quite removed from the traditional style of temple paintings in Thailand.
I was siting in one of the many places available to me at the Alligator Farm, and happen to look up and see this big guy staring !
Veteran car on display along Pall Mall, London, on the eve of the London to Brighton Veteran car Run 2025. I forgot to note the details of the vehicle but I think it is a 1904 Renault.
These are common snakes, but I always like seeing them. I found this one on a recent trip to visit my aunt and uncle on their farm in eastern South Dakota, warming itself in a patch of sun on a cool September morning. (Thamnophis radix)
I don't want to overdo things with the snakes but we really only see them like this once a year when they leave their dens and mate before spending the summer in their home ranges. They can be seen returning to their dens in the Autumn but not in this posture...Western wandering garter snakes (Thamnophis elegans vagrans). Photo by Frank
Eines der großartigsten Bilder von Ansel Adams entstand an diesem Viewpoint. Ich bin so glücklich, dass ich hier ein Foto machen konnte.

A brown Gardner snake in my backyard. It was raining. I got too close, and it curled up and gave me the death stare, so I snapped one last photo and left it alone, but I'm glad I took one more shot! :)
I know that I have uploaded two close-up shots of my local Grass Snake sighting, but this one of it swimming towards me shows the whole animal. This was taken at Scout Dike reservoir near Penistone recently. It wasn't huge but my guess was that it was still about a metre in length, which is about half the length they can grow to. As soon as I saw it I knew exactly what it was as only a snake makes those sinuous movements as it "snakes" through the water. The water surface was mirror smooth but you can see he has created quite a few ripples of his own. I have only seen one Grass Snake swimming before and that was at Potteric Carr near Doncaster last year while I was watching the nesting Black-winged Stilts. But that sighting was brief and too far away to photograph.
I should mention that British Grass Snakes have now been classified as Barred Grass Snakes (Natrix helvetica). It has been taxonomically split from the Eastern Grass Snake (Natrix natrix) which was previously thought to inhabit Britain. The Eastern Grass Snake retained the scientific name (Natrix natrix) because Linnaeus first named it from Sweden, where the Eastern species occurs. Barred Grass Snake (N. helvetica) occurs from the Rhine westwards to the Pyrenees including Britain. Eastern Grass Snake (N. natrix) occurs west of the Rhine and in Scandinavia. Interestingly a small number of Grass Snakes from southern and southeastern Europe have been found in Britain but these were discounted as certain escapes from the pet trade. These were of the subspecies Natrix natrix persa which has not quite separated as a full species from the Eastern Grass Snake. The nominate subspecies of Eastern Grass Snake (Natrix natrix natrix) has not been recorded in Britain, not even as an escaped pet. The scientific name helvetica was the name we used to use for our British subspecies of Grass Snake, which also occurs in parts of Europe. Its distinguishing features were a barred body and a less prominent yellow collar (compared with Eastern European/Scandinavian Grass Snakes). The name helvetica is the Latin name for Switzerland, where Barred Grass Snake also occurs.
Common in the Ozarks region, this venomous pit viper is a water moccasin, usually found around rivers and ponds, and though we have a small stream that crosses our farm, much of the year it dries up so we don't see these snakes, fortunately.
This rough green snake has been hanging out in the same place for a couple months. This is the first time Ive seen it on the ground.
