Description
Thamnophis elegans elegans, or Western Terrestrial Garter Snake, photographed on a log over water at Crater Lake in the Lassen National Forest (California, USA). On this day these beautiful little creatures were everywhere in the rocks around the lake. They are very impressive to watch move, whether on land or water.

a great shot, Mike. Though I would run a mile away. I like how you caught it too showing the old worn piece of log too.
Mike Lee replied:
Thank you very much, Sabina! It was already running from US when I captured the shot :)
