I've been sharing my hobby of photography with my wife. She is trying to get her head around the exposure triangle and doing a great job of it. She is probably the only person alive that will try to shoot hand-held at 1/10 of a second and do a good job of it. Not a problem today when we walked out the front door and this confronted her. She wouldn't look through the view-finder let alone stand still for a tenth of a second.
Guest - I think it's smiling!
Yup, looks like it
She didn't like this either

Your first two images are of a legless lizard, which is not a snake, and not too common.

Thanks, I've lived here over thirty years and was not aware of that. Goes to show, you can still learn at any age.

great shots, if you get close enough you can see the ear openings on legless lizards, snakes lack ears.

The only worms and legless lizards we have in British Columbia are in parliament buildings.
