On the road in Serene Lakes and hanging out by the meadow.. took some pictures of some snakes. Right at the edge of the little lake in the meadow is a concrete abuttment which leads to a little spillway. Tadpoles just about to become actual frogs were swarming (well, like anchovies - all in one direction) and it brought the water snakes out... I have a bunch of photos but most of them are RAW format and I'm on a borrowed computer with...... "lesser" ... capabilities. I should know, I bought the thing as a birthday gift.
Anyway, between about 11 and 12 the water snakes started coming and gorging and I took a few shots... then I had a beer back.
And took these photos:
