As promised....here's a snapshot of life in the mountains.....
I spotted this a couple of days ago in nearly the same place that our black lab Sooty (to our total shock) pounced on another smaller black snake a few days before. She had it in her jaw for just a second.....I think she was shocked too that she caught it (she's an awesome mole hunter). This snake was HUGE...we thought it was dead since it didn't move when we walk up close to peer intently. However, upon our return home from our afternoon forced march, it was gone....creepy.

I've never seen anything like that yellow stuff. We have a large black snake that lives around here somewhere, and I am happy to have him. When he showed up, we stopped having mice in the attic.
I don't know what that yellowish mold is either but we see it here quite often.....only for a day or two...then it turns brown and dissipates. We wondered what the snake had for lunch with all those bumps along his body. Hopefully mice....not growing more baby snakes!!!
Loud screeeeech for the snake! I'm a live and let live kind of person when it comes to snakes. But I do not like them in my path, surprising me. And that yellow patch is quite peculiar. I would not have known it was mold spores- it looks like insulation foam. Ah, nature. On one of my walks with our dog, we pass a flowering bush that is just alive with gorgeous butterflies- three or four different kinds. That's my kind of nature.
Nancy, your nature beats what I've shared for sure!!
Holy smoke!!!! Actually, the mold spores are kinda cool looking....now the snake is a whole different animal!!!! Yikes!
