Not able to sneak out with my usual rig and claim I'm doing something essential, so dug through the archives. Desperate times, desperate measures! Juneau, Alaska 2011. Canon 20d w/ 70-200mm f2.8L (We got sprayed...)

Walked through her web. Found her crawling up the back of my right knee. ‘Bout a 3 inch span. Did a “Not-Fast-stepping-on-a-rattle-snake dance”. Not pretty...

The best I can tell is it is an orb weaver spider: Argiope aurantia(Black and Yellow Garden Spider) (all the photos were from the US) It looked more like a Argiope catenulata (Grass Cross Spider) but all the photos were from SE Asia. Now riddle me this: what kind of snake did GForce find up above? |

First time I have ever seen one and, apparently, they are rarely seen. I initially thought it was a king snake too. |

This shot was not officially during a bike ride (we were walking to the garage to get our bikes though). This mini dragon was defending itself and giving the neighbor's s murderer second thoughts. I was compelled to intervene and run interference so the little-big guy could make his escape unscathed. |

Attachment: B7C939AE-C460-474F-BB27-27B6ACB68970.jpeg [ 2.73 MiB | Viewed 6107 times ] My new specialty appears to be photographing fractions of a snake. At least this time it’s the front half. This was a particularly handsome gopher snake, although my wife was not as fond of it as I was. Yesterday I should have had a back-half of a rattlesnake photo, but I forgot to remove my gloves so the touchscreen didn’t work, my sunglasses were too dark to see the screen, and the shutter noise was disabled, so I was literally clueless that I had no photo. Maybe next time I’ll remember to take the gloves off or press an actual rather than virtual button. By the way, my sample size is non-scientifically small and my memory is suspect, but has anyone else noticed that when you interrupt a gopher snake crossing a trail, it usually goes back the way it came from, but a rattlesnake usually says fuck you and continues the same direction? |
