Serendipity or happy accident sometimes gives us the unexpected. I have gotten a few of these. Here is one om mine.
My cat Casey sat by the stones and when I went down to pet her, I saw this snake trying to make a meal of this slug. Needless to say, I ran into the house and got my camera and started shooting. This will be a series of shots of a lifetime.

Wow that is quite a capture. Is that a posionous snake ??
I went out a day about a month ago. saw something flip in the grass and it was a pygmy rattlesnake with a lizard in his mouth, I got a couple of shots but could not see his head and in just a second he was gone

This is not a poisonous snake, and in Washington State we do not have the dangerous variety. It gets to cold.l

Cool critters and great shots !!!
Thank you! I like taking photos of the "night life". Frogs and toads make great subjects. The only problem is the glow or red eye. I don't know how to make it not glow. Any suggestions?

Just a guess but the same problem exists with humans so some cameras have a couple of quick little flashes before the flash actually fires. The retina of the eye is wide open in low light or dark so when the flash hits you are seeing a reflection The flash on a camera is bright enough, however, to cause a reflection off of the retina -- what you see is the red color from the blood vessels nourishing the eye.
So your choices are bringing up the light prior to taking the photo, or get at an angle to keep the flash from being directly on the subjects eyes, like you did in the second photo. But all in all I like the photos
