Not something you see everyday. I was resting by a pond yesterday when this red-sided garter snake decided to swim across. So very cool!🌿🐍

I did not know snakes could swim (besides sea snakes). I will definitely be careful in the next river or lake I visit!

Logically, I know…but…but…that crazy fear.. my only phobia….crawly shoulderless ….any size…makes no sense. I’ll jump out of an airplane anyday. I applaud you!! 💚

I’m surprised I reacted fast enough to pull the camera up off my lap.
