Black Rat Snake

Saturday morning Mike and I were heading up the deck stairs when I saw this...

A gorgeous black snake had come from the drainage hole under the porch to enjoy the sun! His head rested on the trunk of the lilac and as we watched he began to climb higher.

We spent about half an hour observing him until he returned to his hidy hole. Here's one last shot of his head as he descended.


Snakes all over must have come out to celebrate the holiday; my parents had one in their back yard and their neighbors had two.
