Thanks very much Kris... I think with the sun as low as possible it helped to bring out the details. Glad you liked it :)

Nicely captured close-up. I think that might be a Sonoran Gopher snake rather than a gartersnake. I found one on the highway when I visited Arizona and took it back to Texas in a large thermal cup! Those were the days1 A REAL SNAKE ON A PLANE! Lol!

Thanks Alex :) Nope no yummy mouse, I did point him towards our old chicken coop where there might be something to eat.
