There is rarely a time I will not pick up a camera given a photo opportunity. However, this was an exception. This 5 foot long black snake slithered it's way up onto my front porch this afternoon right at the end of our Tapestry Class. Elise said, "Mom, get the camera!" My repsonse? "EXCUSE ME, ELISE?! Are you kidding me??" She then grabbed the camera and went out onto the porch to take pictures of the kids trying to capture it. (This from a girl who makes her dad come and kill a tiny spider in her bathroom.)
What you can't aprreciate from these pictures are the deafening screams of 7 girls running around while the boys tried to corral it.
Safely in the box! Sean promises me that his dad will come by later this afternoon to pick it up and keep it as a pet. John, I'm counting on you!

OH MY! I remember that happend to us once. Dan was out reading on the patio and noticed a black snake curled up enjoying the sun. We called the police and when they came out they told us it wasn't posionous.....yet he stood 20 feet away LOL.
Great Pics Elise!
You called the police?! Next time just call Sean. :)

i wasn't screaming
actually I was but that was because we were happy

in hindsight, calling the police might have been a good idea. getting handcuffs on those guys can be a tough one..
