We had a most unwelcome visitor in our backyard recently. Can you spot him?
How about now?
The Big Guy had quite a surprise when he was out grilling. I suppose this is one hazard of having your property back up to a wetlands preserve.
The Big Guy dashed in the house when he saw this, leading me to dash out with the camera and a rake.
My plan was to get the snake on the rake and escort him back to the brush at the edge of our property line.
It worked, but it took several minutes. I had a hard time keeping the snake on the rake (oooh...that rhymes!) and take a picture at the same time. Snakes just don't want to pose for pictures, you know?

AUGH! I definitely do not like snakes and don't think I would have been brave enough to go near that thing. (shudder)
Thanks for escorting him back. :) He's a friendly neighborhood garter snake (a pretty big one!) and I appreciate you not harming him. You rock.
Never a dull day in Aurora! Fun stuff!
