For the longest time we were not good at finding snakes. We like to say that
we were unable to find snakes because we did not look for turtles under rocks.The first snake we photographed actually came up to us in our back yard.
We were trying to photograph some painted turtles who would not sit still at all.
We gave up photographing the painted turtles in frustration. While cleaning up
a garter snake came up to us and proved to be a more cooperative subject.
Since then it has happened several times. Apparently garter snakes in our yard
are not deterred by our presence when we are in their path of travel.
