Lunch for water snake

'Was looking to photograph anything that moved, and some things that didn't during a recent outing in southern York County and found this water snake looking for lunch.

After about 20 minutes it still hadn't found fish swimming over the falls. It's a good bet that a fish in its mouth would have been a better picture, but because I have the patience of a four-year old, I was off to find something else.

I probably should have stayed, eh?

It's a matter of perspective

Spent Sunday checking out sailboats on Lake Redman, just south of York. About a dozen boats toured the course, making some interesting photos.

There were interesting mainly because they were radio controlled model boats, but with canoes and kayaks behind, they appeared to be full-size.

Hot weather relief

As long as Justin Teague had a fishing pole in his hand, he could get splashed all he wanted on the new fishing wharf at Conowingo Dam in Maryland. On these recent miserably hot days, who can blame him for being more interested in being splashed than catching a trophy fish?

Justin laid down his pole for a few minutes and security chased him off the pier. It's for fishing, the security man said, not for wading or swimming.
