If I have a totem animal this snake would be it. I have on several occasion's had pleasant encounters with the species. They are not poisonous. Only dangerous for fish and small animals. I have seen it catching fish twice. And when I had the kayak I sometimes had them swimming beside it.
They seem curious and intelligent. Once I was tanning on a rock when I felt somebody looking at me. Raising my head I found one of them right in front of me. Looking at me as to checking out what I was. We stared at each other for a while, then it left.
This time of year they come out and lay in the sun to warm themselves up. There are lots of them then.
I hope nobody was uncomfortable from this post.

Amazing, in the first shot they look a tangled mess. I am happy to hear they are not poisonous.. Great shots! Thank you for sharing your post with the critter party. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteSnakes do love to soak up the warm sunshine this time of year.
ReplyDeletethat second shot is incredible. can you handle these snakes since they're not poisonous? i would have loved watching them follow the kayak... have a great weekend~
ReplyDeleteFina bilder! Ormar är vackra.
ReplyDeleteKayaks & Snakes Yikes! I loved the snake photos! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteHerlig!
ReplyDeleteOrmer er hyggelig, særlig de som ikke har gift!
I don't think I'd be so calm seeing one in real life, but your photos are very nice!
ReplyDeletethanks!
ReplyDeleteHI Wonderful critter post at a distance!
ReplyDeleteSadly, I am afraid of all snakes...even Buddy’s Mildred...our resident black snake. She is sososso big. Your shots are great, but I am glad you were taking them and not me.
