Spring Snake

My friends and I our getting ready for our annual trip to Hocking Hills State Park for the Shoot the Hills Photo Competition. So today we all got together and did a bit of hiking and shooting to psyche ourselves up for the big weekend event. We were on our way back to the car when I walked right past this little guy, if it were not for the Earlmeister I wouldn't have had this shot. When I got back up the hill he had gone into the grass to hide but as I got closer he came out and was hanging on the edge of a drop and was pretending to be a blade of grass. It was very cool, he was content to stay and let me shoot until I tried to pick him up, then he just turned and took off, never to be seen again.
