The full moon hangs between the art called "Sylvester", and another piece of art which I don't understand. The moon though, is somewhat hidden.

The Glenstone is a fabulous place to walk. To meet a friend, or not. I do love it when the moon is full.

A young rat  snake turning the corner. He has pretty markings and notices me at the same time I notice him. He is lifting his head to see what I am.

The rat snake was released next to the stream, shown here as he crosses over a branch and many leaves in the water.

Yesterday a bit of excitement for me and a young rat snake. We both wanted to use my bathroom at the same time. I'm very grateful to my friend who was willing to come up and help me capture and release young snake. Here are before and after pictures:

Here is a shot of the blue sky through the green leaves. I took this picture back on July 22. The sky has not been blue here in quite some time. The sky is white, and I understand it's full of smoke from Canada.
