Photo #86
Some of you may remember this photo: I posted it near Christmas last year.
The snake is a single gene Fire. I can tell by the scale sheen in the photo that this snake had just hatched.
I remember collecting this milky quartz with red iron banding at a section of the CT river, and a rather disagreeable encounter with a bald eagle. I think I dropped half the rocks I collected while fleeing. I regret not getting a photo of the bird, but, I was very dedicated to protecting my face/eyes. I returned to the location earlier this year (2021) and had no issue with eagle intervention.![]()
