Garter Snake
Even though this is a harmless snake, I could not get any closer to take a better picture.
The most widespread and frequently encountered snakes in New York state are the garter snake and the water snake. Garter snakes use a wide variety of habitats, from woodlands to marshes to fields and exist quite well around human habitations. These snakes, like many other species, are variable in color and pattern; the basic color is dark brown or green with three yellowish stripes down their sides and back. They may reach lengths of two feet, but are typically smaller. They are completely harmless to people.

Hast du eine Strumpfbandnatter im Garten, bewahrt sie dich vor der Schneckenplage.Fein hast du sie im Bild festgehalten. Mir gefallen Bildaufbau und Farben besonders gut.
