THE ONLY POISON SNAKE IN MICHIGAN. RATTLE SNAKE. AND THE FIRST TIME IN ALL THESE YEARS I'VE EVER SEEN ONE. IT WAS SWIMMING IN MY POND AND WOULD GO AWAY FROM ME EVERY TIME IT WOULD GET CLOSE AND I'D TRY GETTING PICTURES OF IT. IT LOOKS BIG HERE BUT WAS A SMALL ONE AND I DREW THE PICTURE UP TO GET A BETTER LOOK. THEY ARE SHY AND DOES NOT HAVE THE BAD POISON AS A REGULAR RATTLE SNAKE.

What an amazing picture, looks like an impressionist painting! I had no idea rattlesnakes could slide so gently on a pond. Global warming, even rattlers need a refresh!

Artist Reply: THANK YOU VERY MUCH CLAUDIO. I'VE SEEM QUITE A FEW DIFFERENT SNAKES SWIM AND DIVE DONE TOO. CHECK WINTER TIME, NO GLOBAL WARMING HERE. ONLY GOD CONTROLS WEATHER.
