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!

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.

Oops...we crossed paths, Mustafa. Thank you, too! :)

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!

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. :)

The snake is really set off against the blue background, well done
