Corn Snake

We have been back from Los Angeles for two whole weeks now, but I have continued to show photographs from the west coast.  That's because it is so much easier to take photographs when I am away from home.  The Sunday after we got home, our astronomy club brought our telescopes to a program at Old Westbury Gardens called "Kidsfest."  A bunch of organizations having to do with nature and science had displays for kids and their parents.  The people across from our table had a Corn Snake.  What a beautiful animal!  I thought it made a good photo because of the green background.  The young man who was holding the snake offered to let me hold it, but I politely declined!
