Uninhabited Images
Copperhead
Posted by Eric Fry (Houston, TX, United States) on 6 May 2008 in Animal & Insect.
Closeup of the female copperhead in yesterday's photo. As I bent down to get a closer shot, I entered a bit more shade and had to use the flash to get a decent image.
Taken at East End Park, Kingwood, TX.
Thanks for visiting, and I hope you all have a great day,
Eric

@Malpraxis: A very accurate assessment of this snake. Out of the four venomous snakes here in the USA, the copperhead is usually the boldest. They like to strike first, then flee.

Seems I hardly ever have a camera when I encounter a snake. I'm glad you did and these guys are inhabitants of our woods too. It's an excellent photo.

I am such a city boy. I look at that and think, Yeah, let's use the flash on the big snake; that's a good idea.
You are both talented and brave.
