“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9) (Read by Max McLean. Provided by The Listener's Audio Bible.)
I love JESUS! I'm a 7th-generation Florida native, dyed-in-the-wool Southron belle. I just recently dusted off my genealogy notes and, thanks to a long-lost relative, nearly doubled the details. We started home schooling when only 'outlaws' did it and still enjoy a daily quest for knowledge. These days, the family spends a lot of time birding, butterflying, spending as much time in 'the woods' as possible while they're still here.
I agree! I do not like snakes - at all! It was just about a week ago that when I walked out of the house and into the garage, I startled a very large black snake, who then frightened me when he quickly slithered past me. I screamed and a few seconds later Emily came into the garage and found me standing in the clean clothes basket not wanting to move.
Excellent picture! I guess unlike most, I'm not scared of rattlers...I respect them. Can you believe I have yet to ever see one in the wild? The places I have been, that amazes me...one of these days, and I hope to have my camera with me!
Patricia, I'm sorry, but I had to laugh at that mental image. I actually like most of our snakes. Yours was probably a black racer. they're beautiful creatures.
SwampAngel, I'm not TOO scared of them, as long as there's a respectable distance between us. I'll walk all around a pygmy, snapping pics, but diamondbacks (and mocs)are a whole nother story.

I tried to take the same photo ... and got bit twice in the hand before realizing that I needed my zoom lens. Silly me! (and just joking).
Yikes! Too close! Too close!

Baker, that's one critter I give a VERY wide berth.

Alice Audrey, there was a nice thick pane of glass between us.
