We saw two king snakes and one gopher snake on a recent hike. It's the first time I've seen any snakes here on the Harmony Headlands trail!

I love seeing the turtles basking in the sun on a winter's day at the local park in Portimao, Portugal.

Texas rat snake, I believe, a youngster. And a morning surprise.

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!

This female brown anole, backlit by the morning sun, takes the frequently preferred head down position from a vantage point above my garden while she surveys her territory for rivals, mates, and meals. I like that brown anoles are aggressive insectivores in my garden, but they also ferociously compete with and have displaced other niche denizens including green anoles, day geckos, and skinks. Brown anole (Anolis sagrei) native to Cuba.

This snake is way smaller than it looks in this image. I had to get as close as I could focus, just a couple cm away, so it would fill the frame. Ringnecks are incredibly docile too. It's surprising they can survive in the wild world they live in. I guess the same could be said for all of us.

All that need to be said was BILINEATA! An incredibly beautiful viper, and one I had very much hoped to see. This was taken out in the rainforest despite looking like a studio shot. Studio shots aren't my favorite style but it works well to show off this snake.

*All my photos from now on will be downsized like crazy hence the reduced sharpness. Have found my photos being used in way too many places without permission or compensation so now will not be posting any sort of his res images.

Saw this handsome Alligator sunning himself by the shoreline today.

Hope you are all having a good weekend.

Funny how they love to do this pose. And how they always catch me taking their photos.
