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.

    Wow! I think I'd freak out if there was a snake in our pool and we own a snake! We had a dead goffer once in the skimmer, that was a surprise! eek7.gif

    I like #1, good photo. What kind of snakes are these? I Love the ring around the pool snake's neck.

    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!"

    Thanks guys. #2 was just to be able to Identify him after I let him go. A ring neck snake, probably full grown.

    #1 is a Florida Black Racer - he lives in the front of the house and I see him pop in the yard fairly often:
