It all looks so beautiful! As for the snakes *shudder*....I live and let live, but thankfully we don't seem to see many poisonous ones here. We do have some pretty big milk snakes and boy do they put on a show when disturbed....they coil up and shake their tails like rattlers (without rattles of course) so even though I know what they are, I am usually about 30 yards away and making tracks like an Olympian every time I see one.
