Trillium by the thousands today in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. The weather was warm enough for snakes to be out along the trails.

A warm day today in the redwood forest. Trillium were prominent, with colors ranging from white to pink to purple. This is a close-up view of a white trillium in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. Egg-yolk yellow anthers can be seen in the center of the flower. The shadow of the trillium falls on its green leaves.

home comes the conquering hero. they successfully did surgery to remove his scent gland and suture his wounds. he’s stoned out of his mind at the moment; his tongue flicks are bizarrely wiggly. #snake

"Grass snake". Aquatint etching, with roulette and burnisher touches. 20 x 25 cm.

Strictly speaking it's still a WIP as I just saw one part where I'll add a shadow, but apart from that I consider it done.

I'm quite happy with it, during the whole process I feared adding a detail or messing up something that would make it lose its "organic" feel, but it didn't happen. Even if lights and shadows aren't so realistic (have you ever looked closely at light playing on a snake's scales? It's crazy!), they bring the effect I wanted and it still looks like a convincing enough snake to me :D

i love these little garter snakes. they were all slithering around the forest floor next to (and across) the path i was on. since all the leaves and grass are still dry i could hear them before i could see them. they were just doing lots of exploring of their little world and looking at me with mild curiosity before moving on to look for nice spots to sit in the sun

a stripey brown, black and yellow snake slithers up over a large chunk of decaying wood. their pink and black tongue is out smelling the world and their face is illuminated by the sun showing off their shiny orange and black eye. the rest of their long body trails off the right side of frame.
