Went for a little 4 mile hike (2 miles in to the beach and 2 miles out)with my camera today. Actually went after (not during) work, for a change. Got a few decent shots. I will try and list the lens (if I can remember  ) There are several more miles of trails in this park, I will be back again

Groundhog in front of den

Skink on stump
(probably Nikkor-HC 1.8/85)
Squirrel in tree
(probably Nikkor-HC 1.8/85)
Turtle on log
When I got to the beach, I walked within 2 feet of this snake. It was in the surf where the water meets the beach. I used more contrast on these shots to try and show the markings better. It is between 3 and 4 feet in length.

Thanks guys!
I wish the skink would have been facing me, but you have to take what nature gives you. I snapped a few shots and then tried to reposition myself and it scooted away. I saw it on the way back, but it ran as quick as it saw me (must of been female  )
I think the snake is a Northern Water Snake, but not 100% sure.
This was a fun walk!
