Snakes by a Creek!
A few Byrne Creek Streamkeepers went out battling invasive Policeman's Helmet in the creek this morning, and found several garter snakes soaking up the heat beneath black garbage bags in which we compost evil plants on site.

My wife Yumi checks out another one.
We handled them gently and released them unharmed.
