I was going through my computer's hard drive today looking through my pic files, and I forgot all about these ones that I snapped of a garter snake last fall.
I was hiking with the kids in Carley State Park in Minnesota on an early October afternoon. I was really surprised to see a snake out, because it was maybe 50 degrees out at most.
This is the first snake I ever saw in the wild as a kid, and although they are fairly common, I never tire of seeing one of these in their natural habitat.
Enjoy!
