Silly Sunday - Snake ring

As this week was a week for spotting snakes, I thought my silly Sunday picture would be snakey - and what better than snake jewelry! Look at this ring (no, it's not one of my creations!!!):

Oh, oh! I didn't mean you Betty.  Sorry! Betty is my neighbor with a real phobia for snakes!

Let me know if you buy one!

A two snake day

Today is a two snake day. Not sure if that has some meaning or what, but on my usual walk, I saw a beautiful black and white snake - California Kingsnake - dead!

And then a juvenile gopher snake:

Were the two connected?  There were no other clues - just one dead snake and one alive snake! Hmm.. a mystery for the day. If you have any insight into snake sightings, please pass them along!

My neighbour told me recently that she's seen loads of snakes in her garden this summer - and she has a real phobia for snakes - so hopefully these two are now out of her sight. 

I wonder what it's all about.....
