We were down at the resaca in the
palm forest, peering thru the slats in the bird blind in hopes of seeing a
snake out in the water, when we saw a snake in the water. Funny how
that works out once in a while. Actually the snake was on top of the
water, due to the thick aquatic vegetation. I was able to get a long distance
shot before it reached the far shore and disappeared into the brush.
I've got to get a better telephoto lens! We also saw several Gulf Coast Ribbons along the Rio Grande during a canoe trip, but they were too quick to photograph. |
