Tiny Snake

On: Aug 31, 2009

I found this snake slithering into a hole on the riverbank, I caught it and told it that I needed a picture then set it down and I got one shot. The Western Terrestrial Garter Snake went into the nearby river then it warily watched me as I finished with the photos. In these photos the snake is about life size, if it was stretched out it might be six inches long.

A friend of mine suggested the snake looked like a pirate with the spot of green covering its eye.

A friend of mine requested this photo, I was happy to oblige and I think it turned into a rather nice scene.

Dragonflies, Damselflies and Spiders

On: Aug 7, 2009

I have taken a few pictures of spiders, so if you do not like spiders, I don't recommend my Bugs Gallery.















I recently found out the difference between a dragonfly and a damselfly. For a long time I thought damselflies were young dragonflies.
Dragonflies are typically larger than damselflies and when resting keep their wings out to the side or pointed forward. Damselflies keep their wings back along their bodies and their eyes are clearly separated.
