P.O.D. - Picture of the Day

Black Rat Snake
Black Rat Snake

Here is something to hold you over until I finish my entry about my most recent hiking trip. I have to leave for work at midnight all this week so I'm not getting a lot of free time. This black rat snake was on the side of the trail leading to the Cave Falls waterfall that I saw on my hike. I was trying to get the snake to strike to get a more dramatic photo, but it wouldn't. Black rat snakes are very docile and almost never strike. Unfortunately most people don't understand this and kill them on sight.

Great photograph. I could never do that.
