I almost stepped on this Copperhead. Before my cognitive brain could register, my subconscious put the breaks on and made me gasp. I then realized I stopped about 6 feet short of stepping on this Copperhead.
Here is what a Copperhead looks like after you poke it with a trekking pole.
This is an earth snake. It was on a boardwalk over a marshy area. It slivered off the boardwalk as I approached.
This black snake is the last snake I've seen. It was about 5 feet long.
These photos would be enough to keep me from hiking the trail. It must be magnificent to be in nature, though, in this way. Enjoy!!
