Elaphe obsoleta obsoleta - Black Rat Snake



Elaphe obsoleta obsoleta - Black Rat Snake, originally uploaded by michael rupert.

A tighter crop of the same snake I found on my back porch one day. I haven't seen it again, but hopefully it still lives near my house. Sometimes I don't imagine the best presentation for a photo until I've distanced myself from the subject for a while. In this case, the light on the leaves distracted from the subject in the original crop.
