Creepy start to resurrection!

Photographed this snake [rat-snake according to S, though my drama queen instincts would have liked it to be a cobra :)] yesterday in the backyard from my bedroom window - In broad daylight, just before leaving for work. At one end, was thrilled to see a live snake out in the wilderness for first time in life and at the other, a little wary now of stepping into our gate without an escort after sunset.

Not quite a post one would have liked to share after months of "self imposed exile". But just a start of sorts. :)
