Have you ever caught something out of the corner of your eye that just didn't seem quite right? I have walked past plenty of snakes while hiking, but this is the first vertical one I've seen. This garter snake caught my eye as it was sticking out of a hole apparently just enjoying the sunny day. I checked my daypack for my pungi, but realized I must have left it at home. So much for my snake charming opportunity.
After shooting a half dozen photos, I moved a bit too quickly and the snake vanished into the hole.
