garden visitor

I've never been one for snakes. Never crossed their paths as a kid (Hawaii doesn't have them!) and still crawl out of my skin when I do now.

S found this one slinking it's way around the backyard garden, and while it was only as thick around as my thumb, I still got quite freaked out. But then I thought of the mice it might be keeping under control, and I started to warm up to the slithery thing.

But I'm still not touching it. [shudder]
