SSSSS~snake

Sssss~snake. Please don't tell me how wonderful they are, that they are a part of nature, that rats and spiders are worse, etc. etc.. Thunder, electricity and snakes are my top three fears. When thunder announced the rains today I ran to close the kitchen window only to find a snake looking right at me - I did scream ...but vocalized nothing. Here he is getting away. ( He has since been rescued and removed to Frear Hill. )
