The water snake is the same one we saw on Friday evening. Same spot. Enjoying the sun today at noon. Just a minute or so after leaving the site of the water snake, I had to skid to a stop on my bike to avoid running over a black snake that had come quickly onto the greenway path from my left.
I stopped in time and the black snake made it to the other side of the path. He stopped and waited for a bit, head up, and let me get a few photos. Great looking snake!
