Ezra Viena Dad-Dad and I were at the local swimming hole – Barton Springs – a great place to go in this heat. Viena was going to climb out of the water near the rocky shore when I hear – “The Shriek” – At first I thought it was just another one of the tired sounds of the afternoon, but then I saw her running through the water.
“Water Snake – Water Snake” she finally was able to tell us. Now, unlike Ezra, Viena is scared of lots of creatures, so even after the shriek, the running through the water and the claims of WaterSnake, I still thought it was probably a small little earthworm. But lo and behold – we saw this snake right where Viena was about to step. I am not sure what type of snake, but Ezra said a “Zebra Snake!”
