Garter Snake

Itty bitty little garter snake :) When I was moving the large rocks to make my new planter/raised bed this little guy was hiding underneath. SO freakin cute! He even struck at me a couple of times hehehe. I moved him and put him under a pile of leaves I had raked into a pile in the woods. It was really too cold to leave him out in the open (it was only about 45 degrees today) because he was very lethargic and I didn't want a bird to get him. His head was only about the size of my thumbnail :D
