A little something different on the way into work this morning. This is a Northern Water Snake swimming in the marsh. I would say it was about 42 feet long. Perhaps it was somewhat smaller than that but it seemed very big to me. This snake is not poisonous but will bite you if you get too close. Real nature photographers own waders and go into the water to get closer to their subjects. After this mornings encounter, I have decided that I am not that serious.
