Crikey~!Now that's a Brown Snake!

Went out this afternoon to get some firewood,and have a look for some dingos.Always take the 400L and 50D.Hoping to take some interesting wildlife images-I walked around the paddock-saw very little.Got back to the ute-packed the 400L in it baby capsule-and turned to start the ignition-and this is what I saw-see image 3-right on the tyre tracks I walked a couple of minutes previous-now Chris was rather pale-at the thought of how close he was!

This Brown Snake was quite a large specimen-at close to six foot long!I tried to take image with 400L but too close-so started the ute and backed away-its head poked up,stoped the ute and managed a quick head shot-see image one(no crop),and two-slightly cropped.Never been so glad to be sitting in a vehicle!
