I know this fella won't get the love given to the bluebirds, hummingbirds, and deer here, but it's a totally harmless garter snake I found this morning.

Handsome fella. We have them too. He looks a lot larger than he is in your picture.

That looks like two snakes!

@Kachina624 , no, just one. It's cool and cloudy out today, so it's been moving around a little, but not far from where I took that pic. If you look near the top of the closeup photo you can see the forked tongue sticking out. Checking me out I guess.

@Icegoddess They always surprise me when I least expect them! It reminds me of an Emily Dickinson poem:

We wouldn’t trade our lizards for anything 🦎

Garter snakes are harmless and eat bugs.

They also eat small rodents, birds, worms and frogs.

@catter70 I really would like a big ol' King Snake, preferably with a chipmunk in it's mouth. I rescued one from some bird netting a few years ago, but haven't seen one in a couple of years. It was a good bit bigger than the garter snake I just posted, but not sure even it was big enough for my chipmunks.

I run from any snake. I just don't want to know they are there. I am always extra careful when I am weeding some of my heavier beds.
