This baby Garter snake and several of his siblings caught our attention as my wife an I were hiking recently. I grabbed the camera and snapped a few quick shots. This snake chose to stop and threaten me by coiling in a striking posture. It was fantastic to see this little string bean of a snake try to intimidate me as I moved the camera for a close up. A moment later, he though better about his tactic and bolted away under the leaves.
