We were puzzled when he walked in - looked like a framed canvas, but yeah it was like a portable clogging floor. Really added a nice sound to the performance. He was really working it, too- had to sit down and rest a few times. :-)

Backyard #snek doing its thing. It turned and passed right by my foot after deciding I was irrelevant. Several hours later, it’s still draped over a crape myrtle branch. #WildlifeWednesday #wildlifephotography #herps #naturephotography #florida
