Spotted this cranky Northern Water Snake on the road this morning while walking the dogs. I ushered it to the other side so it wouldn't get run over. I think it ultimately appreciated it, because it stopped striking at me half way across!

Nice shot! I don't know that I have ever seen an entire NWS in the wild or in a photo! V

Great shot of this big snake! The warm surfaces are causing a lot of snakes to rest on the roads! So glad you helped this one across. V
