Copperhead!!!

I am happy to say that I did NOT take this picture. But one of our friends did, and he took it here in the neighborhood. Yikes!!!
This is a copperhead, and I'm showing you this picture to help you know how to identify it from a distance. See the Hershey kisses along the length? That is typical coloration for copperheads. They are quite aggressive, so you only have a second to identify it. I've seen other descriptions, but the Hershey kisses really paints a memorable picture.
There aren't hundreds in our neighborhood, but there are some; so be careful when you walk in the woods, or down the trail. Also, be aware when you're working in the yard or garden.
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
