It is so rare to walk in the green woods and find a green snake when the vegetation is intense, and it is even rarer to find two. However, today we did just that. The first one must have been the mom and we did not know at the time there was another one right on the same branch. Jessica picked her (assuming it was female) up and that snake went insane. I have never encountered a more nasty snake and it was all Jessica could do to hold onto it. She even said that it gave off some sort of smell which was quite strong. Jessica had to wash her hands with liquid hand jell.
After releasing it I noticed the second snake on the same branch, and this one was much more accommodating and smaller.
Our goal for today was to check out an old spung or bog that we visited a while back on a PBX hike in the winter. There was evidence of a large amount of Bog Asphodel and I have decided to photograph it at various times in the next month. Our first find was Blue Flag Iris.
I believe this is early Golden Crest. That is also in abundance there but a little early.
The bog.
Grass Pink
The early Asphodel.
Rose Pogonia
Not quite ready.
Bob can tell us this grass I suspect. I think it is a grass???
A weed. I have these growing in my yard and have never let them grow. I think I will from now on.
A view.
I forget
Wildflower?
