A Good Omen

Spotted this Eastern Rat Snake at the DogPark this morning. She was a large one and was moving very slowly through the fallen leaves. I took a couple of quick shots and then encouraged her to move off into the woods. Rat Snakes are non-poisonous and not aggressive. Of course any snake can bite if threatened so I'm always respectful of them. Seeing a serpent in the wild is a good omen for me. I feel fortunate to share this beautiful planet with them. :)
