More photos at www.flickr.com/musicianonskis. Check out the album “Covid Companions”. Usually snakes slither away. This garter snake actually seemed curious about me (or was I was stirring up insects?). We spent a half hour together! He/she climbed a cedar tree at one point – and then fell out of it. I sat on the grass and he/she wove through the grass and leaves, frequently coming closer to me as though checking me out. I looked up “garter snakes” when the visit ended, and sure enough some snake aficionados claim that these snakes are more alert and curious than most. Such an enjoyable afternoon!
But were you social distancing?
