Not exactly the beautiful birds or the color pop of flowers, but even this Eastern Kingsnake has a unique way about it. It was definitely not a fan of me, something had it really on edge and aggressive. When it noticed me, the snake coiled up quickly and began to mimic “rattling”. I didn’t approach or try anything, I just took pictures with the zoom feature and let it be on its way… Could’ve been worse… 🤷🏽♂️ just hope it keeps hunting the rattlers and copperheads. I love you. 🤟🏽 Make sure you find a way to #MakeItToTomorrow … Snakes or Otherwise… #snake #yardart #noperope #EasternKingsnake #naturephotography #picoftheday #everydaylife #outside #touchgrass #depression #iloveyou #youmatter #iphonephotography #regrettispaghetti #northcarolinaliving #northcarolinaoutdoors #kingsnake #kingsnakesofinstagram #PicsFromThePorch #nonvenomous
