Overcame one of my fears today...

[Fotografer]

I got up early to head out to a local stream (Brushy Creek, Round Rock, TX). Last week the dragons were abundant and during my adventure I walked upon a large (fat but short) water snake which I called a water moccasin, needless to say, I was scared $*@!less.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Today, the dragons we're much less numbered. Just after shooting a &quot;wild&quot; anole on the bank from the water, I caught the body of a green tree snake in the corner of my vision. Scared at first, but I slowly moved further into the thick of the grassy bank to get a shot of him. This wasn't the last surprise either...there was another below him and closer to me but moving away. I had a good time.</p>
