Uninvited Guest!

We had a visitor on our swimming outing today. This guy came out of a tree and landed on the trellis where the swing is by the pool. Susann looked up and saw the snake and quickly snatched up Noel and ran into the house! Ron was able to take some neat shots before the snake disappeared under the shed. Turns out this guy is an Eastern Coachwhip Snake and it is very rare to see them in the wild. They are not poisonous, but it sure made the afternoon swim exciting!
