I went to the nature preserve to walk my dog.  This is normal.  I do this a lot, But the reason I am posting this is because I found something really cool.  The first thing we saw there was a massive deer.  Despite it size it had little horns sprouting from its head.  We walked for a while and we didn't see any animals.  On the way back though we found a snake I had only seen a snake once before.  I got up close and realized it was clearly a garter snake because of the two yellow lines on the back of the snake and the its circular pupils.  I take some pictures and I touch it two see how it would react.  Then I ran after my mom.  A little while later I see another snake.  Two snakes in one day is extremely rare.  It was again a garter snake I convinced my mom to let me catch this one.  She says yes and I felt like the snake whisper or harry potter or something because the snake felt no aggression towards me.  I was a little nervous but that all melted away when it went up around my neck and liked my face.  I realized these were really harmless creatures and that saying a snake is slimy is like say sandpaper is smooth.
