....the snake I almost stepped on while hiking in Sterling Forest! The snake has yet to be identified, but I like to refer to him as Gus. He was too fast for a picture, but I have included a snapshot of the frog who was more than happy to pose (that or he was scared of my big foot!).
After the snake, came the mossy rock on Buttermilk Falls.
So, the lession here is not only to be in the moment at ALL moments, but also, know what the heck your feet are doing!
