Awesome to be so close to wild nature. It's too bad that there are those people who think it's OK to feed wild animals. It can be dangerous to both the animal and human when they lose their fear of humans. Wonderful photos and description, Joan! You're really brave with the snakes.
Don't believe I am brave anywhere near snakes, have had to learn which ones are approachable and which ones aren't Roger. When I was younger it would not take much for me to go straight up the walking stick and land twenty foot away becoming airborne in fear of snakes...
