A quick snake trip...

Went over the hill for a day to see what kind of fall snakes we could find.  We went
to a place that has never let me down.  For the first 4 hours, we got completely
skunked, everything was dry as a bone and there were no herps to be found
anywhere.  At the very last spot, the road of uber snakiness came through and
provided this little beauty.







A little tongue.


No tongue.


Tight.


Tighter.


Ahhh, there's the tongue.






That was the only snake we found, unless you count this:




A few shots with the new lens.








And a couple attempts at more HDR. I'm still doing something wrong, can't quite figure it out though.
