I'm crying inside right now.

Some of you may know of my part time hobby of taking photographs...well, I missed the shot of a lifetime just now. cry

Anyways, I was just out taking some pictures of nature in a little river bed after I was done taking down there I started the small climb to get back to my truck, as I get up to the level where it's at I come about 6 inches from stepping on a beautiful 4 and a half foot long sidewinder.

I pull out my camera and rush to turn it on so I can get a nice macro shot of it's face (while trying not to get bitten) and I'm fumbling around with the lens cap because my hands are shaking.

It startled the crap out of me because I wasn't expecting it, but I had to get that shot. By the time I get the camera ready the snake was gone into hiding and I only got a couple blurry photos of the tail end of it because I had the camera set to macro and I was too far away. cry

That sucks, that looks like a beautiful snake just from the tail snapshots.

Well.
I'll let you take a photo of me in a snake skin body suit.
But that's as much as your getting out of me.

That's unfortunate. That snake looks beautiful.

-the flight attendant costume
-the mermaid out fit
-the sailor outfit
-the bride outfit
- the cowgirl outfit
and even the french maid outfit.

but I'm sick of you showing me up in my own things.
So no, not this time Ken.

Maybe not the best shot in the world, but still you got a decent one anyways considering the circumstances...better luck next time. What kind of snake was it, I've never seen markings or bands like that.

Just tell yourself tomorrow is another day!jm

I'm not entirely certain, I'll have to look it up. I believe it's a sidewinder.

No one wants to look at snakes.

Except trowser snakes, mine, in particular.

Ok, I looked it up and I was wrong, it's not a sidewinder, it's a harmless Gopher snake.

Haha what a funny name.
turned

tough luck... could have been a great photo. ..from the looks though.. its a pretty snake.

I hate snakes, besides the one in my pants.

Even if it is harmless, I wouldn't want to be going anywhere near a snake. O_O

Sorry you missed it, but you'll get another chance. Some of the biggest pictures were taken at random without much thought. Its just some randomness caught in time with a picture.

I didn't want to be near it either, but it captivated me so I had to follow it.

Nu uh.

I've seen a boomslang in a tree before, didn't get really close though and the snake guy was called to come and get it cause it was in a housing complex. xD

When I lived out at the lake I saw many rattlers in the employee housing, Park Rangers would have to come out once a week or more to remove them.

Don't you have Black Mambas around South Africa too?

I think so, I don't really like snakes, so I wouldn't know. >.>
