Snake

As it is early spring and the weather today was in the upper 70's, this snake decided to come out and soak up a little sun. Not a bad idea.

I took this from a little bridge over a stream so I couldn't get too close (not that I'd want to anyway), but that prevented me from really getting a good shot. I cropped into this picture to get a little more detail on the snake. A long lens would have worked well in this situation.

I can't tell what kind of snake this is. I think it's just a harmless brown water snake (or a brown rat snake) but if anyone knows, please post a comment letting me know what kind you think it is.
