It caught my eye, the shed skin waving in the breeze.

We've has a resident blacksnake (possibly several) for years and they are most welcome as they are known to eat copperheads. He/she/they often shed their skins in or near the greenhouse. This one facilitated its skin shed by working its way under the eaves of the greenhouse--where it may be now. The current chilly weather likely has it curled up somewhere warm.

I love seeing the individual scales--if the head portion were visible, the eye scales would likely be intact. But if I tried to pull it down, it would just tear. So, I'll leave it to flutter in the breeze. Long may it wave. Copperheads, beware!
