Milk Snakes are non venomous but they can pack a mean bite and draw blood! As first hand witnessed as a boy. These snakes can reach between 3-6 ft. long.
Interesting thing was this snake coiled up on me when in the grass and vibrated his tail just like a rattle snake! He struck at the stick I put near him!
Anhingas are nicknamed "snake bird" due to their habit of surfacing after a dive with only their long neck and beak exposed, appearing very snake-like in the water. On Horsepen Bayou they are quite skittish and rarely linger on a perch when paddlers approach but this bird held her ground (well, stump) as I was passing and only reluctantly crossed a narrow channel to another nearby branch.
Train 17617 Tapovan Express snakes uphill behind a maroon schemed WCAM-2 electric. The WCAM-2 are the forerunners to the more widely produced WCAM-3 and appear almost identical. Recently many have been painted by Kalyan shed into this classic maroon scheme. Between the maroon locomotive and beige coaches, the train blends in a bit too well with the landscape. The train is seen here passing the 2nd catch siding on the Thull Ghat south of Igatpuri. The impossibly steep tracks in the background are meant to stop a runaway train on the 2.7% grade. Even today all downhill trains must stop before the catch siding before proceeding downhill.
Today is no time to take a photo! So, here is an old one! Taken in Hannover! Wish you all a great day!
Snaking through the multiple curves east of Summit, Montana, a Burlington Northern Santa Fe grain train traverses Marias Pass on September 9, 1999. Up front is an eclectic group of motive power led by BNSF warbonnet GE C44-9W No. 781. Trailing the 781 is a former Santa Fe LRCX C30-7, a Burlington Northern C30-7, a Santa Fe EMD SD45-2B, and finally, another Dash 9 in Heritage II paint.
The Snake River Canyon (also known as the Grand Canyon) is formed by the Snake River in western Wyoming, United States, south of Jackson Hole. The Snake River cuts through a fold and thrust belt on its way from Hoback, Wyoming to Alpine, Wyoming. The North American Plate has pushed against the Farallon Plate to create many geologic features including the folds and thrusts visible in the Snake River Canyon in Wyoming.

Snake wine is an alcoholic beverage produced by infusing whole snakes in rice wine or grain alcohol. The drink was first recorded to have been consumed in China during the Western Zhou dynasty and considered an important curative and believed to reinvigorate a person according to Traditional Chinese medicine. It can be found in China, Goa (India), Vietnam, and throughout Southeast Asia.
The snakes, preferably venomous ones, are not usually preserved for their meat but to have their "essence" and snake venom dissolved in the liquor. The snake venom poses no threat to the drinker. It is denatured by the ethanol—its proteins are unfolded and therefore inactive and would be denatured by stomach acid anyway. [Wikipedia]
Dear friends,I will be offline for next few days as I will be travelling overseas tomorrow. Will catch up once I return to Sri Lanka
Those familiar with Ansel Adams may recognize this scene.
I used a 5x7 crop instead of the original 4x5 (medium format), and include more of the land on the right side. I couldn't get on top of a van to see more river. Plus the pine tree forest is older and larger with more growth obscuring the left bend in the river, and the mountains are capped by a storm.
What a delight to follow Ansel Adams' footsteps.
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

I spotted this cottonmouth when it moved off of the log it was sunning on. Notice how much it is on top of the water, which is characteristic of this species of snake.
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! :)
