It's snake season again!!

Yay!! It's so much fun this time of year if you work up in Sunnyvale near the Baylands Park. I try to get out there at lunchtime for a walk anyway but lately of course am doubly motivated. Right around this time of year the snake population seems to wake up and for a month or so, everywhere you look there are snakes. I escaped early today for a quick 6 miler and nearly stepped on this little guy in the grass. Just for kicks I've also included one of my larger friends from last year. The mating rattle snakes was X Rated so I couldn't share :-)
