Just Papa getting a little wild and creative…
If you’ve seen some of my recent photography posts of the Combination Photography Contest that I am currently running then you already know that I enjoy combining animals and plants to create some interesting photos.
Many natural photos can be taken in this manner of the animals in their normal habitat, but some more creative and interesting photos can also be created by staging a photo shoot, which is what I did in this case.
Before I released the Red-Bellied Snakes, I placed one on top of a kind of Daylily to see if I could get a few good shots. I think that it worked out pretty well. Here are the photos.
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

@papa-pepper, snakes are such feared creatures, but you captured a beautiful moment incredibly well.
Really enjoy seeing the snake in contrast to the oranges hues of the flowers.
I think that the third photo is my favorite.
I am pleased to hear it. Thank you for your REAL COMMENT too!
@papa-pepper, you are very welcome for the REAL COMMENT. I am here at Steemit to learn from our community.
We have to be real or else it all falls apart. Thanks for the part you play in always creating original content.
photo shop! Hehe just messing @papa-pepper
Awesome shots!
Red bellied rat snake? Corn snake?

Very beautiful photography, I love it very much. but I am sorry to say this, that for the first picture it looks like a better choice of the 8th image.
it worked super well, these are such cool shots not often i see shots with a snake and a flower such an interesting combination
I thought that it would make for a striking contrast.
and you were spot on the contrasts make the shots, another option would be the snake on an apple tree would be so cool to see
From the image of the flower is so bright and very bright coupled with the old colt and flower colored to be more contrast but if I have a snake I definitely run a unique work
Very nice, @papa-pepper! What camera did you use?

Wow nice shots. You have a good eye for that kind of stuff. Keep em coming sir! :)
I will! Thank you so much for the encouragement!
Wow, Beautiful Snake :3
I agree. It probably looks even better because it is on the flower.
I agree with you, it looks dangerous and at the same time beautiful. Very attractive combination.
Perfect combinations of snake and flower, i have done 1 as my entry @papa-pepper 😊😊
Thanks @bien!
My Pleasure @papa-pepper
Before I released the Red-Bellied Snakes
Did you catch them or buy them to release, and do they have a purpose if you bought them?
Good photos BTW, got side tracked as to why you'd be releasing snakes.
I captured them in the wild to photograph and film, momentarily detained them, and then releases them exactly where I found them.
I didn't know if they had a function you wanted to utilize, like having king snakes to reduce a population of rattlesnakes, for example.
Should have known you were just being creative ;)
I just like to meet them and document them, plus I am on vacation right now.
What a beauty !
Either your camera was snapping shots like crazy or the snake wasn't in too much of a hurry to get away. I had enough trouble keeping up with the little bugs! They kept scurrying away and hiding under stuff.
I'm amazed by the variety of snakes you find. I think the only snake we have around these parts is the garter snake. Just as well though; so many people have a phobia for snakes.
This one was calm and moved slow. It actually responded really well to the whole situation.
Perhaps we need to start calling you the Snake Whisperer? Seems you can handle them without freaking them out.

What an interesting photo you have captured @papa-pepper! Love that colour combo...
Thanks once again!
Aww! I love the snakes! Great combo!
Beautiful shots!
First thing that came to mind was the garden of Eden.
Oh no!
Waaooo that's real wildness, a great wild photoshoot @papa-pepper :)
cool pics!
Nice photo compilation!!!
I've been having some problems with Gardener snakes in my basement. There are no poisonous snakes where I live in Vermont. Still they are a problem. I know where they are coming in but the rope trick doesn't seem to work and I don't want to use glue traps or chemicals. Do you know of any good non lethal snake repellants?
I have heard of one.... let me try to get back to you when I remember.
Cool! Thank you!
Not dangerous snakes
Always have a surprise on every post @papa-pepper 👍
i really enjoyed, the first and last @papa-pepper photos are just superb.
omg.. the snake looks really cute with the flower.. Seems natural for it to be there! Their colors match each other.. Nice photo @papa-pepper...
By the way, are those snakes easy to find in your area?
Beautiful timing! Love the pictures
Snakes are really scary but good job on putting some beauty in them @papa-pepper! Another great post!
I like all your posts but guess what you KILLED with this one this is SO AMAZIN what a good conbination Flowers and Snakes this is the first time i see this kind of pics. LOVE IT.
@papa-pepper i love your posts about snakes..
Ur always getting wild and crazy!
This is a REALLY spectacular photo though. Don't know that I have ever seen snakes on flowers....
Really Really Beautiful!
You have so many contests, I haven't checked out this one. Will have to get in on it!
You left it on a flower nice ...imagine now the identity crisis he might go through if he mistakes himself for a caterpillar waiting whole life to become a butterfly ..pun aside I like your photos ....they scare me at times watching you handling those snakes with such ease.....but yeah I love to see what pepper is upto .

WOW! I don't know what kind of wizardry you employ to get the photos that you do. When we make exhibit signs I have to do a lot of the photography and trying to get the snakes to sit still enough for a decent picture is a headache! I feel like you need to submit this to a guidebook!
Awesome shots. Love how the snake was so calm and just moved like he was posing for his photo shoot. Great mix with him and the pretty flowers. I love snakes but all the ones at my place slither away too fast for me to catch them. Of course my dog does not help with that. Keep up the great photos. Hope, well I know according to your posts that your vacation is going great. Stay safe and have fun.
Great!! thx for sharing!
the shots are amazing
the last one seems pretty cool i should say
awesome photos, love the original content and the copyrights haha
A snake and a Flower!! What could be better then that? Honestly it is quiet interesting considering how a snake is so scary and a flower is so not threatening at all. Great contrast thanks for the post!
