My youngest son, however, wishes you had taken a picture of the snakes!; 4/14/2009 3:49 PM
VALKYRIEN said...: Disturb the snakes? Who in their right mind would do that? Oups - I forgot the lady who jumped into the water to swim with the polar bears....People DO need to be told sometimes!

A great photo anyhow! I can hear the roar from the waterfall!; 4/14/2009 4:05 PM
Anonymous said...: Just hearing they may be around somewhere would get me jumping out of my feet and running as fast as I could away from here. I am soo afraid of them.; 4/14/2009 4:06 PM

DeniseinVA said...: Great photo, love the waterfall and like that you have added that sign. I have a fascination for snakes but don't know enough to recognize a safe one from a not so safe one, so keep my distance. Do like the reptile houses at the zoo though.; 4/14/2009 4:39 PM

EG CameraGirl said...: Ha! I'm glad you took such a good photo of that place, Mojo, because I'll probably see it in person due to all the snakes. ;-); 4/14/2009 4:43 PM
betty-NZ said...: It would be so lovely to stand at a safe distance and listen to the water!

Glad they told me about the snakes, although I wouldn't be wading.; 4/14/2009 4:48 PM
Bryan said...: Warning signs like this often exist because of trouble in the past, which is too bad. This looks like a beautiful area judging by the foliage in the background.; 4/14/2009 5:10 PM

Bim said...: I'm another one who agrees that undisturbed snakes are far better than disturbed ones - but I'm also lacking the phantasy how people would disturb them from that particular point.; 4/14/2009 6:51 PM

RA said...: I would never have guessed that this place was a water snake habitat. The waterfall seems so strong. It's a good thing that there is a sign! I will take my distance. Have a great day :).; 4/14/2009 10:51 PM
