Around 5pm today in the middle of the road. Large 3ft or more snake. Hisisng, loud, almost like a rattle noise. But no tail rattle. Defensive while I kept distance. Aggressive. Never took its eyes off me. Opened mouth often. No teeth. Black eyes. Black tongue. Large center. Moments prior a large barred owl flew past my windshield and watched me as I approached snake. An epic moment in my day. I was going to pick up my son who was with a native medicine woman.

Cropped and lightened picture as well as original. It was fairly high up in a sand pine.
I checked on the location very closely afterwards and we were in Putnam County, but just 100 yards or so, rather than in Marion County.
Also present; my wife, Lori Smith, and John & Ivy Gibbons.

Drama. These guys all normally get along pretty well, but here a squirrel decided to start something and nearly got kicked in the head as reward. Moments later they were back to munching sunflower seeds side-by-side again.

Observation from a cruise ship. This very large fish was jumping repeatedly out of the water. I was able to capture 1 photo. The fish appears to be upside down with its fins pointing up.
