black rat snake _ 01

" It is the bright day that brings forth the adder ; and that craves wary walking. "

 

~ William Shakespeare ~

( from Julius Caesar )

 

I know that this isn't an adder , but I like the quote.

 

This is not a captive snake. It is a wild black rat snake that was

slithering around in my yard. I was about 5 foot long. Also, this

is not a crop, but I did resize it to post on flickr.
