The last weekend in May, I vacationed in Northwest Ohio with my sister's family. The weather was in the 80s, though often overcast and each day and/or night it rained, cooling things down a bit.

The area has quite a large number of Eastern Garter Snakes. I like the range that can be found in the colors and patterns in these common herps. Here are a few, to show the variety.
