I can say this picture of the snake eating the frog , taken from my old Canon S3 IS camera (in 2006) gave me a lot of persuasion in spending more time into photography . My friends still remember this shot and convey it was a RISKY shot 
.Thought of sharing it again.
This time I was at the Utah antelope island and was capturing some fast flying birds .One lady came running to me (may be after seeing my fancy camera ) and showed me this little garden snake which is usually found in Utah . I didn’t miss this opportunity and try going as close as possible (it is a non-poisonous snake) . My love towards shooting snakes is increasing now .Enjoy the garden snake pictures .
UPDATE
The pictures showcased are not really called garden snakes but are called gopher snake (Pituophis catenifer deserticola) aka, Great Basin Bull Snake, or Desert Gopher Snake . Thanks Brian Crawford (Canadian Photographer) for the correct information .
