Not. Fond. Of. Snakes.

I took my dog up to a lovely mountainous state park for a hike. Halfway up the trail I saw the most ginormous, alien looking snake I have ever seen. Well, maybe it was about 5 feet and a bluish color. I ran. Yes, I ran...about 50 feet just sure that it was going to come hissing up behind me.

It didn't. It slithered up the hill into the woods. And my big, he-man dog? Never even saw it. Completely oblivious to the whole thing. Thought I was just running to give him some exercise. Lousy friend.

But it was a lovely hike after all. Even in spite of the serpent.
