Thank you Mike. I'm finding from my FB page that few people appreciate the beauty of snakes. I can post a pic of a flower and get 60 "likes," but pictures of snakes get only a hand full. I think the Bible has given them an undeserved bad rap.

i think maybe kids like snakes more than grown-ups , before they learn they are supposed to be scary. but there is that phrase the second part gets left off of most times : all creatures great and small.....
