PICS - Springtime Surprise

[PATMAN]

With the temperature hitting 70 F here in PA, I found this cute little guy in our shrub just outside our front door.
He did surprise me at first and made me jump when I saw him!

Garter Snake

I have been on the lookout for snakes. We have some that hatch almost every year near the same location. Each year I will find a baby sunning itself. They are black with a red ring around their neck. Kids always get a kick when I pick it up and bring it to show them.

Sounds like a Northern ring neck snake Dee. I have those in my yard too, and found a baby in the same area I took these pictures a few years ago.

Patrick it looks like he found a great place to sun himself. Great pics.

LOL, I would do the same thing!! But I guess it is a natural reaction. I want to come live by you patrick so I can see all the animals again...
