I'm no photog, though -- for every keeper, ten or fifteen have hit the recycle bin. When our visitors ask about the snakes (we have at least 8 species, four of which are venomous), I tell them, "Don't worry, I've got a theory: anyone who gets snakebit probably deserved it." Like any other animal, they just want to be left alone. The cottonmouth up there that looks like a close-up was from about seven feet away. The closest I've been to a venomous snake is when I almost stepped on this juvenile cottonmouth -- he was coiled up and though I'd seen him, I thought he was a racoon turd.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould

whateverist, please don't think I'm patronizing you, but I'm so damned jealous. Where are you located?
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Where are you located? Not at all. I'm in Berkeley, California. If you're near by, come on over and I'll make you a cuppa. The only thing gardeners like better than getting a snoop into someone else's garden is showing their own to another garden lover. |
