These photos of garter snakes, emerging from hibernation, were taken on 31 March 2000 in a conservation area behind my house. The permission for use of these photos for non-profit purposes is hereby given - a reference to the author is required. A click on a photo may reveal a larger photo...

Note the snake habit: They bask in the sun to enjoy the warmth, but to avoid glare, they frequently keep their eyes in the shade of a twig...
