Pretty snakes in captivity don't scare me a bit--
Whoa, Gertie--hold it right there!! I bet the majority of people reading that opening sentence think there's nothing "pretty" about a snake. These are my friend Paige's pet snakes, and they wouldn't hurt a flea. A mouse, definitely, but not a flea, or more importantly, ME! I'll have to go back to her house to take reallyREALLY good pictures sometime, but for now, I loved this one for this week's Friday's 40-or-less Photo Challenge.
I hope the image didn't scare you from writing a response--remember, it doesn't have to be a literal take on the picture; I went with the abstract this time...decidedly darker. One look at snakes and my mind inevitably wanders back to the Garden.
If you've written a post, be sure to link it below so I can find you :)!
Seldom alarming.
Grossly enduring.
Pleasures soon fleeting.
Its wake often grieving.
Sin bites.
