Snakes in the Rice Fields

Nik named "Rat Snakes" they do there best to keep the rat population at bay in the rice paddy's...they are quiet harmless (so they tell me) quiet difficult to photograph focusing locking onto tuffs of rice, enjoyed the challenge both with the snakes & focusing....photographed in the highlands of central Bali close the village of Ubud.

Nice photos, but I wouldn't want one crossing my path too close. If they keep the rat population down, then I guess they serve a useful purpose.

Good captures Kevin.

I think that you are underestimating your patience level but all the better for those of us who prefer our snakes at a distance, even when they are harmless.
The last rattlesnake that crossed my path had his head removed.
Thanks for sharing.

OH,MY! Kevin! you had to be down in that marsh/ flooded rice field and looking eye to eye with these. Who determines that they're harmless? because no one has died? I do know the lengths you will undertake for your photography and art. I've seen the images at the running of those huge steers in the mud, the volcanos and sulfur mines. I think this has to be the scariest of all! Was Europe too tame? Geez! One of my wishes would be to carry your gear and go the places you go. And then you get in the swamps with the snakes and I have to rethink this! Fantastic perspective, by the way!!

Great images Kevin. But you can have that all on your own - I hate snakes and would never get that close on purpose.

Just be thankful they are not anacondas
