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.

@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.
very nice shot..but i´m afraid of snakes..yesterday i was running a cross the countryside when i saw a really big one. i think i´ve never run so fast!

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.
