When this snake started to come out of the water, most of the frogs - previously wall to wall on the shore - quickly fled in a panic. However at this time, the snake did not try to bother any of them. Instead, he merely turned around and swam off again.

The entire event was very quick. Because of thick foreground weeds, it was also somewhat difficult to get a clear shot. But Big Bertha and I still managed.

This was another spotting made by my mom. She's so great to have along on the Squaw Creek photo trips!
