It's snake week!
It is weird snake week. 
I mean, it is time to see snakes doing strange things, in stranger places, in the middle of the city.
I think they are coming out of their nests, this week.  Another friend sent me a photo of two snakes, rolled up, together..., looking very vulnerable.  SO I went to the creek to investigate.   I met a new friend and we talked about the creek and Austin and wildlife, surviving in the middle of the city, and photography.   Then we walked, up to the market, and on the way, found this poor snake.
I think he was to be a meal for one of our larger birds, and was dropped near or in the road.  My new friend thinks he was run over by a car.  Both fates may have been true, and, we will never know.
So, I photographed the snake, anyway,

It is funny, that a year ago, I was pretty well terrified of snakes.  This time, I sat on the curb, right by the snake.  My attitude on wildlife seems to have changed, the more time I spent with them.

My uploads are generally comprised of video I have shot, in Austin;  Rosedale Neighborhood, Hyde Park, and particularly, up at Central Market Park pond, and roof of the parking garage...
It is wild in Austin;  really wild, I tell you!
