Our town can't afford a K9 unit, so I came up with the next best thing - a police snake. I've named him Fred. He isn't too happy right now & he bit the fire out of my thumb, but I'm going to keep him. The next time I go on a disturbance call, I'm going to throw Fred in the door & let him clear the room.

Looks like a black racer. We had one of those in my yard last year and it was huge. I will try to post a pic later.

If he gets laid off (or stepped on) will he be able to get Cobra benefits?

I love the sneaky snake officer!

I think this one was a spotted king snake. At least I hope he is because he bit me pretty good. Ya'll should have seen me dancing around trying to get him to let go. I bet I could have one the dance competition on "Americas Got talent".

Went on a vacation to western NY state visiting relatives who have a cottage on Lake Ontario at Sodus Point east of Rochester. Here are a few I like.

1. Sunset on Lake Ontario
2. The girls washing up in the lake
3. Sunset reflection
4. Waterfall near the Finger Lakes.

BigV · 07-31-2011, 08:26 AM

you, sir, are a show-off.

And I love it. Please keep inspiring me, these are wonderful!

Thanks BigV, after 30+ years of shooting I still get a good feeling inside when I visualize a shot, take the picture and see it come out just the way I wanted it to.

As a sidebar note, the waterfall shot and the sunset were both taken with no tripod. The former was a 2 second exposure, just found a rock ledge to set the camera on. The sunset was taken with a 400mm as I sat in a plastic lawn chair on the beach bracing the lens using the armrests for support; on and that lens also has a built in image stabilizer which helps.

Chris, awesome. As usual.

Think ya could post a shitty pic so I can feel a little better about myself?
