That’s a garter snake – harmless to humans. “Garter snakes, like all snakes, are carnivorous. Their diet consists of almost any creature they are capable of overpowering: slugs, earthworms (nightcrawlers, as red wigglers are toxic to garter snakes), leeches, lizards, amphibians (including frog eggs), minnows, and rodents. When living near water, they will eat other aquatic animals. ” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garter_snake
Not sure what kind of snake that is. They will go their way if we leave them alone, which I usually do. Love to get photographs of them.

I think we always startle each other, then move quickly away! although we’re enormous compared to them.
It’s nice to still have some warm sun. ☀️
great shot!
Perfect words.
