I went to a local wood and chanced upon one by the side of the path. I have a snake phobia and usually avoid this area of woodland except in the winter months...

Anyway, seeing that I was frozen to the spot with fear, I thought I'd be incredibly brave and photograph it.

| | Posted 29-05-2008 at 04:34 PM by nutmeg This afternoon the sun made an appearance so I spent some time down at my garden pond. The vegetation (mostly nettles, burdock, cow parsley and yellow flag iris) has grown up round it making it very sheltered.
