Speaking of snakes, I stumbled across these two at my house a couple of weeks ago. They started in a flower bed in the front yard before rolling out into the driveway. Naturally, I grabbed my camera, put on some "boom chicka bow wow" music and tried to direct.
I'm sure that these two will inspire
even more snake activity at the home. But, as these are kingsnakes and as they enjoy eating copperheads and other poisonous snakes, I'm sort of ok with it. Just sort of.
Please keep the cottonmouths to the west and south of us. I'm originally from Memphis, and I had my fill of them when I was younger. But, in my 15 years of living in Middle Tennessee, I've seen plenty of copperheads, water snakes, rat snakes, garter snakes and black racers ... but never a cottonmouth or rattlesnake. Hopefully, it stays that way.
