Late last Fall at a favorite hiking spot I was returning on a pathway when I noticed something crossing it from a distance. As I approached it got BIGGER Mind you I am no fan of snakes other than I find them fascinating in color and behavior. I was able to get close, close and closer to the point I was lying on the ground less that 6 inches from its head with a macro lens, my trusty cheap Tamron zoom that goes 180-300 in a 1:2 macro mode.
Lots of shots, more to come as I can never make up my mind which ones to post This one was at least 6ft in length which by what I read for Ohio is about the biggest they come, lucky me and I followed it back to its nest/hideout too.
I hope it gives you the thrill it did me...............thanks for stopping by and always always feel free to comment or ask questions or give suggestions.
