I agree, Jolly. This snake was on the move pretty quickly. I looked on the trail side to see if I could get some close ups, but he was well hidden.maybe next time.

Thanks Cindy. It's my first Ca King snake sighting. Very cool.

Nice snake. A couple of shots more would have been nicer.

Nice one Karen!
