     Location: Central Ca. | Great pics Chad, I like the pic of the mountain garter on the light colored granite the best. I think because the snake stands out so nice against it. |

     Location: Manteca CA | Thanks Everyone! I really did have a blast! I can't wait to do it again!
It was great meeting, and hanging out with you Dev, and Mike. They are top notch guys!
Funny how everyone like'd that photo besides me! I wish the lighting was a little bit better on the snake, maybe I should have used some fill flash?
I personally like the in water shot of the little Garter.
Ross you need to post here more!
Thanks everyone.
Cheers,
Chad |

| Holy Cow Chad! Those pictures turned out sooo beautiful! I am so glad I wasnt the only one who had a blast. This was my first herping trip and I really appreciate edgar letting me tag along, as I had the time of my life! Its been way too long since I have been camping, and getting the opportunity to meet new people and do something I have never done before is exciting! Chad, thanks for your knowledge and willingness to share, I learned a lot from you this weekend, and look forward to future trips! |
