I found this serpent in the patio garden. It was much too close to the baby robins for my liking, so I relocated him and took a few pics, too.

Excellent job capturing him/her so close and that red tongue. You are very brave. :-) #11597136Joanna Kovalcsik May 22, 2017
Chuck and Marilyn, these ribbon snakes are harmless, but they look quite menacing as they sniff out danger with their tongues. Thank you both for your very nice comments! :o) #11597192Nancy L. Green May 22, 2017 1
Talk about the forked tongue Joanna, FANTASTIC macro!! <>< #11597426Dianne Brin May 22, 2017 1
Oh no,no,no,no,no. That is a wonderful shot my friend, but my result would have been the clouds in the sky after I tripped all over everything getting out of there!Joanna Kovalcsik May 22, 2017
