There are 2 things that I enjoy photographing the most, people and wildlife. So I’m out in the woods today looking around when I looked down and saw this guy right next to me, about  3 to 4 inches away from me. I don’t know if I walked up to it or it slithered up to me but it was way too close for comfort. It looked like it was ready to strike but luckily it didn’t. We both got to live to see another day. I know I’m being a little dramatic but it really scared the crap out of me. Even though it wasn’t poisonous , the shear fright was almost enough the send me into cardiac arrest . Ever since last years close encounter with snakes, I almost stepped on one of them, I’ve been trying to be very cautious about where I step and where I go. If this keeps up, I’m bound to run into a poisonous one and my luck might just run out. I’m seriously thinking about giving up wildlife photography which would be such a big bummer to me. Snakes are everywhere and they’re so hard to see until I’m to close, I’m starting to get a serious phobia of snakes. I’ll probably have nightmares about them tonight.
