We've been going to the creek that was in the back of our old house. Very interesting back there, as it was when we lived there. It's nice to be going back there again, and nice that it's just a short drive from where we now live.
On this day, we went back to the creek after a very heavy rain.
We had found a snake the day before trapped in netting. We took it home, Guillermo cut the netting off of it, and in the picture below, they are about to release the snake. It was a Water Snake. If we hadn't found that snake, it would have drowned because the entire creek bed was under water that night and the snake had no way to get itself out of the netting.
The more netting that came off, the wilder and more aggressive the snake became. Several times it looked like that snake was about to escape that box, but Guillermo's talent kept that snake in that box somehow.
Guillermo managed to get that snake in this little insect carrier. That was a feat in itself! It's going home with us.
Trying to get as much netting off as he could. Guillermo soon realized that to get it off entirely, we would need to take it home and use scissors.

Walking to the creek. Walking to the creek usually involves catching lots of grasshoppers.
