WAY TO WORK IT !!!
Used to have them all over the yard years ago , in fact a Garter snake was the first photo I took with my Nikon 6006 film camera.

You did a really nice job with this, Michelle. I know about the whiteness of some of the downed leaves like this. And I know it can be tedious to fix, but you did it. And when you have no option to reach in there and fix it beforehand, well . . . I think the snake would have thoroughly disputed its territory had you tried that! #9742817

Michelle, is a snake in the leaves worse than a snake in the grass? :-) You did an excellent job of editing, he looks very sinister! #9743088
