Spring has Sprung with Snakes  Eastern Garter Snake ( Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis ) Bill Mason Centre, Dunrobin, Ontario, Canada. Surprising all the snakes I saw this weekend they were in the leaves and in the water at times. Went to the Bill Mason Centre which is an educational centre for students with trails throughout marshes and mixed woods. I went looking for Wood Frogs mating, heard a few but they were well camouflaged in the vegetation of the marsh. So my main subject turned out to be snakes. I was with my father and we spent sometime exploring the trails noting a good variety of bird calls and seeing the warblers that have returned to the area. But like I said only the snakes were posing for the cameras.  Getting fire tongue photos is always a favourite of mine and I believe this female was not shy in showing hers. It was Garter Snake galore and they were not shy to go for a swim in the cold water, the sun was warm but the wind was quite blusterous. My father fell ...

 Sammy Snake went Slithering through the Grass & Scared my Ass I had a speech impediment as a child and would be taken from class to recite readings like Sammy Snake ... which bothered my ASS as a small child seeing I was developing in my our way who cares how you sound out your Ss as a wee child it is not like I was giving any speeches or anything. But enough of that, number 5 is this  Eastern Garter Snake ( Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis ) Bill Mason Centre, Dunrobin, Ontario, Canada.
