I'm "finally" in!
I've been really hoping that a cool shot would present itself to me all month, and then on Saturday, it happened. While my wife was working in the yard, she came across nature at it's best. (well, at least for me it's pretty darn cool....but I'm a snake lover). I was able to lay on my belly for about 45 minutes inches away while taking pictures (nearly 90 shots) of the whole process of this Garter snake eating a Toad. When I first arrived, the garter snake only had one rear leg of the toad in it's mouth. I'm having a really hard time trying to decide which to post because I have so many cool shots of this. Anyway...I'll post more pics in a separate post when I have time. It was pretty amazing. To give some perspective.....the toad was about 5 times the size of the snake's head. This picture is the last gulp and it's front feet are sticking out of the snakes mouth. Kind of felt sorry for the toad.....well, just a little. :?
