Thank you to Miriam from The Shower of Blessings for nominating me for the Seven Days Seven B&W Photos Challenge! The challenge: Post seven black and white photos, no people, no explanation, of everyday life. These are the runner-ups that almost got chosen to be featured for a day, but I decided to go with a different photo, but I thought they deserved an honorable mention:
These are good.

Sometimes – he’s a black rat snake. I call him Blake. XD I’ve almost stepped on him several times when he was sunbathing, but he’s usually off in the woods somewhere. π

Hmm, so he is a frequent visitor! It would make me scared!

He’s actually more scared of me than I am of him. π He isn’t poisonous, so I’m not too afraid to get close. (That photo was taken with my old camera – I literally had to get within a foot of him to get that shot. XD)

Oh, you’re brave. How can you tell if it’s poisonous or not?

I downloaded an Arkansas Snake Guide, which helped. π It looked like no black snakes in Arkansas are poisonous. Also, I’ve heard that the pupils of the eyes of a poisonous snake are diamond shaped while a non-poisonous one’s pupils are round. I don’t know if that’s true though, and I don’t plan to get close enough to a poisonous one to find out… XD

Did you publish your previous novels? One of them was 87,000 words? I don’t know how you did it!

No, not yet – I still need to revise that one. π I’m slowly working on it. π
Haha, it shocked me too. Part of it was that I was taking night shift watching my grandma that year, so while she slept, I had lots of free time to write. π

In fact I’m writing a fictional memoir. But when I get to the last 25 years of my life when I had all the pain, I wanted it to be a memoir, not a fiction. So I could finish the fiction, and change it back to memoir. At least it got me to think about it and write about it. I wanted to write my memoir but procrastinated. π What do you think?
