You have one of the best jobs in the world! Those were some seriously awesome photos. Each time I thought "wow, that's my favorite" another one would get that response. Thanks so much for sharing!

that 1st nightsnake is awesome.


those turkey's and feral pigs are issues for the snakes....maybe they should be eliminated.....

[littleindiangirl]
