Several weekends ago I had the opportunity to get out of the big city and attend a women's conference. It was so refreshing to see plant life and water. I once heard that a man can't find his soul on the sidewalk. After living in a city of 5 million, I can understand the importance of getting R & R outside of the city. I went jogging with some friends, and here's a picture of two us and the beautiful lane we jogged upon. As we were jogging, I noticed a very large snake halfway in the road and halfway over a log. I practically jumped out of my skin (it was on my side of the road), and I scared the hibbie-jibbies out of my running partners. This was the largest snake I'd ever seen in the wild, so we stopped for a closer look. It was not attacking us and it was not slithering away. As we glanced further, we noticed the snake's head was clamped down on the back half of a frog. The frog was looking at us with sad eyes, and the sight of it actually made one of my twenty-something running partners from Tennessee cry. We were thankful that the snake's mouth was full so he wouldn't attack us, but we had pity for the poor frog.

OK, did you take a picture of the snake w/frog for your scrapbook?? Hee, Hee :) I have enjoyed your posts. Take care!
I don't usually carry a camera during aerobic activity, but one of my running partners had her camera with her. It felt like a National Geographic photographic opportunity, so she took a picture. I didn't have the heart to put it on the blog. After all, I do have children who view it.
