I took this photo with my Canon Rebel T2 EOS. 28-90mm zoom lens. I also didn't go far for the shot just off my front steps. He was sunning on my welcome stone



Trudey,

Pretty good sized fella here. I'm pretty sure this is a Garter snake although maybe you call them grass snakes in New York. Grass Snakes proper are European.

I'm wondering how you got this digitized. The reason is that this pic looks a little overexposed and the green colors in the grass are pretty bleached. I also know the T2 is pretty sharp and this is pretty soft. I suspect the problems may be in the conversion to digital.

Certainly must have been neat to catch this guy sun bathing.
