As this picture was taken with my phone the quality ended up poor. I messed with it a bit so you can see him more and the muddy water less. He's about 1.5' in length and his body is under the shallow water with his head peeking out... It's the Northern Water Snake I was telling you about!
Apparently what I read about them is true and they are not aggressive. Jim noticed me peering into the water and jumped in to find what it was and ended up stomping all over the snake. I figured the snake would bite him or at the very least leave, but he ended up just going under water for a spell and moving only to stay out from under Jim's feet. What a relief.
I'm guessing I'll see him again and I am hoping next time he's out of the water...
