Snakes , Cooters and Bluebird Eggs April 20, 2013

John and I took James to find some wildlife.  James will be four in June.  He just took off running across the field.  It is a good thing that John is a runner too. (He ran the Outer Banks marathon the year before James was born.)
We came upon Andy, a person I see at times out walking.  He had opened a bluebird house and was photographing the eggs inside.  John lifted James to see the three blue eggs nestled within..

In the wetlands there were big cooters resting on logs.

And then we saw a six foot long snake twisting with elegance through the murky waters.  It was perhaps a brown water snake, perhaps a water moccasin. A man coming by with his tiny dog said that all snakes can swim.

For some Native American tribes, the snake totem indicates Wisdom, Healing and Transmutation.  The appearance of a snake may be telling you of change and creativity coming in your life.
