This is just cresting the hill at the top of Flanders Rd. I’m always tempted to shout “Hey doodly,” in this area. When I finally slowed down, I saw this four foot long black snake, just basking at the roadside. He didn’t seem to mind posing for this shot.

Picked up a little hitchhiker on the way out of town. Must have been too hot to fly. Little mantis stayed with me until about 5 miles outside of town.
