And we both decided to leave each other alone:

I love these things!

It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he is potentially. We should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through the world we inhabit.

    I just clicked on this thread and my wife says "are you looking at snakes" headscratch.gifscratch before the picture had even opened............she hates them, if she had found this pulling weeds the whole street would of heard and that would of been the end of her ever gardening again.

    Nice pictures and surprise for you doing the gardening

    Beautiful pictures and i like how you got on the ground for a more level shot. The images are very sharp.

    One nitpick: The snake is centered on your low to the ground shots. It looks like your images are sharp enough to crop out the right side and the top half so more of the snake takes up the frame.

    This is the kind of crop I am talking about. Of course, it is a personal choice as to how to crop, but you made some great captures, I think they would be better with some cropping. This snake was coming out of my garage. The original picture had the head of the snake centered and wasted space to the right. Some cropping and the snake is much more the focus. My picture could probably stand a little more cropping too.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Very nice! What is your secret to keeping it still long enough to photograph? Do you put in the frig for a while first? mwink.gif
