I went on a hike and this is what I found
I am a budding herbalist and have been hiking through tall grasses high and low to take pictures of plants 'weeds" and to identify them for the purpose of building up a functional local herbal apothecary. I would like to share some photos and a few comments of my excursions whomever shares my enthusiasm for the outdoors.

Gopher snake
They are excellent at keeping the area mouse population at bay. So if one lives near your house consider yourself lucky. Gopher snakes differ from rattlesnakes for one by the fact that they are constrictors. And visually: Note the color pattern of their scales (as compared to a rattlesnake), their skulls are narrower, their pupils are round.
