Oh this is cool......especially the banded snake and the catchlight in the snake's eye. Large crop or not.....it's a wonderful image.

Is amazing we have not run to each other yet. I have ask a couple guys already if their name is Bill.
It should be easy to recognize me... I am the guy with the "ugly" beard as my kids will describe me to their classmates.

Saludos,
Raul
