Story

I am new to this site, and find it to be wonderful! I love nature and animals and get tired of trying to take pro photographic shots when I just want the animal or plant to tell it's own tale.

We were on our way to Pringle Bay where we have our weekend house and we spotted this snake on the road at the little seaside village just before Pringle Bay. There are many sitings of these snakes in the area and it is my second one in five years. We obviously do not want to get too close to it as their bites can be fatal.

I look forward to sharing my pics with you and telling my stories. Living in a very interesting area, I have lots to show and tell.
