Wonderful action photo, Tony, although I still don't like snakes!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mick: I won't suggest they'll grow on you, yet they have on me over the years.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful clear detail of the kill and you've caught that lovely sheen on the scales. Your photography is a great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteExcellent photo as usual Tony. (And could I just add that I very much enjoy your headers.)
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara, Boobook: I just wish the good pictures came along as readily as the headings. But, then, I've been playing with words for much of my life.
ReplyDeleteHi Tony
ReplyDeleteGreat action shot with the snake. But they never stay around like that, as a snake with a full mouth is totally defenceless, and they get very nervous at that stage.

Hi Denis: I know that sounds logical. But my experience is that snakes will sometimes put the meal ahead of caution and allow a closer approach than would be normally tolerated.
