Wow great shot and congrats! I am fearful of snakes, im afraid of being bit, but i like pictures of them. Do you happen to know what kind this is? The color of the bucket really makes the snake stand out!

Beautiful combination of texture, color, pattern and crispness...an amazing up close look at the unique characteristics of the snake! Congratulations on your POTD!

A gorgeous capture, Joy. Congratulations on your double win today!

Thank you very much, PV, Douglas, Jessica, susie, Richard, Kathy and Linn! :) I like snakes as long as I don't accidentally grab one when I'm weeding (which is why this one went into the bucket until I was done). :) This is a Midland Brown Snake, which interbreeds with the Northern Brown Snake in Ohio. They eat earthworms, slugs and snails.
Joy Cobb commented on June 29, 2008 07:22:
Oops...we crossed paths, Mustafa. Thank you, too! :)
Patrice Cigallio Wesa commented on June 29, 2008 11:04:
A crisp and magnificent capture of this snake with remarkable textures & detail. You just happened to have your camera with you at the perfect moment...big congrats, Joy!
Betty Batten commented on June 29, 2008 11:23:
Wonderful, detailed capture! Congratulations on your POTD! (glad I'm not around when you let it loose, and don't even want to know how you got it in the bucket in the first place!LOL)

He looks beautiful in the bucket! The brown and blues look great together:) Congratulations on this and your double today, Joy!
Monnie Ryan commented on June 29, 2008 14:31:
Yikes -- he can have all the vegetables he wants! Neat photo -- snakes are such intriguing critters. This one looks like he's pretty good sized. Congratulations on your POTD!

Thank you so much, Patrice, Betty, Joyce and Monnie! I caught this snake myself, but usually the kids do it because they're braver. :)
Stephen Elliott commented on June 29, 2008 17:24:
The snake is really set off against the blue background, well done
Jack Ryan commented on June 29, 2008 19:57:
