I was bouncing down the stone steps in my yard when I ran across this little guy. Stopped me in my tracks. He was sunning himself on the wall during a few of the sunniest hours in weeks. He appeared to be about 2 feet long.
After cleaning out my pantalones, I got my camera and waited for him to emerge. When he once again appeared, I took this shot. He eventually slithered under a bush, only to scare my wife a few hours later.
