Last weekend I was out taking pictures at the Pittsford Nature Center with my friend Rich and there didn't seem to be a lot going on. Typical nature scenes, a couple distant birds, nothing really to write home about. So I decided to do something not so many people do when they are out taking pictures. I just stood there and listened. After a few minutes I started to hear some rustling in the leaves near by me.
I saw this small snake stick his head up out of the leaves, and since I wasn't walking around or in a hurry, he wasn't either. He let me get within 3 feet of him to take his picture. So here's an easy tip to use next time your out taking pictures. Stop, look, and listen, you never know what great photos are hiding right next to you.
That is so cool!! I love how his head is poking up like a periscope. Great capture and advice.
ReplyDeleteSo awesome, but this would be the exact reason to walk fast. I would have jumped 50ft if I came across one of those. Great for you to stay put, AND get a great shot! He blends so well, amazing you saw it!
ReplyDeleteNice catch, for the snake and the photo too.
