Shedding

I was out after work to water the plants under the big oak and was just enjoying myself and looking around to see what needs to be repotted and such when I looked up and saw the shedded skin of a "more than likely" black snake hanging on one of the limbs.  Add about another 8 inches to it and that's how long it was.   I really don't care for snakes very much but black snakes are good to have around.  Hopefully when I start working on my plants, I won't actually run into him.
