Come a LIttle Closer, Deerie
My 10 year old nephew was with me on this trip to the NWR. While driving along Wildlife drive, I noticed a snake up ahead crossing the road. I parked the car, got out, and took a closer look... close enough to know it was a "bad snake". I went back to the car and told my nephew that it's a Cottonmouth and let's get out and take some photos. He was smart enough to stay by the car while I was on my belly getting this shot. Thank goodness for a 400mm lens!
