On the deeply-shaded mountainside trail leading to Natural Bridge (Natural Bridge State Park, near Slade, Kentucky) a small movement caught my eye as I stopped to catch my breath. Almost underfoot was a baby Garter Snake, approximately 9 inches long. It was wriggling quickly through the leaves and I had considerable trouble seeing to focus. This was the one, of three images, that happened to be in focus and the flash happened to go off, freezing the snake's movement and the tremors of my hand.
