Like the frog shots, from last week, I got right down at eye level to take this photograph. At least I wasn't balancing on some rocks but I was able to lie right on the ground.

About Me
- John Theberge
- I live in Lewiston, Maine and have for most of my life. I've always had an interest in nature; as a kid I read books by Edwin Way Teal, Rachael Carson, among others, and I used to love studying the Golden Nature Guides. When I got into photography it was natural for me to take pictures of the natural world. A few years ago I got into kayaking and that allowed me to get to places I would never be able to by hiking and of course this gives me more photography oppurtunities. I realized years ago you don't have to travel to exotic locations to get good photographs. I have to admit I'm lucky to be living in a beautiful state with a lot of natural diversity, but I've taken good pictures right in my own back yard and neighborhood.

I don't know if I'm more impressed with this photo or that you got down on the ground knowing it could slither in your direction.
:-D
I can't believe that it let you lie right there on the ground and take its picture! Are you a "snake charmer"??? Stupendous shot! Love the tongue especially. WOW!
John, that's one cute little snake. Is it poisonous? Were you in deadly peril? I hope not for purely selfish reasons of course....I love your photos.
OK, John, I KNOW it's harmless, but it's a SNAKE! Wonderful photography though, of course.
Love it. Pose, light, detail - everything! Good job, John!
Cheers, Klaus
That's great John! I almost stepped on one today and he wasn't happy when he got surrounded by 15 unhappy guineas! Just so you know, no scales were displaced!!
Wonderful shot. I have tried all summer to get some snake pics, but they usually come back washed out.. this is great.
This is great. I would have thought getting on eye level might have made it slither away, but it let you have a terrific picture instead.
The garters seem to be everywhere this week--we passed three out sunbathing our walk tihs afternoon alone. Any guesses why? Last-minute feasting and ray-catching before the big sleep, maybe?
wonderful shot. I am not a big fan of snakes so I have to use my longer lens.
