But that's me.<br /><br />He was hanging out, watching me, and eventually started flicking his tongue out (that's how they "smell", or taste, what's going on, who I am, like a dog might sniff or we might look more carefully.<br /><br />It was a really fast flick, so I set my camera on fast repeat, and every time I saw the tongue come out, I held down the shutter for about 5 clicks. Did that about 6 times, for a total of 30 shots. This is the only one that showed the whole tongue clearly. Glad I got one!Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-47956706264361455322011-07-01T12:09:18.486-07:002011-07-01T12:09:18.486-07:00Ugh, I hate snakes.

It didn't look life-threatening at all, so I let him go on his way.Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-54373527188946859162011-06-30T03:07:08.438-07:002011-06-30T03:07:08.438-07:00Very COOL!!
