Snake Fight!

A weekend of trail runs. Finally, no more cement. Ran 2 loops on Sat, and 1.5 loops on Sun. Would have gone for more, but did not have time as I started so super late on both days. Next weekend vow - to wake up earlier and run.

Today my run was interrupted by a sight. A big brown snake was having a brunch fight with a small greenie tree snake. The greenie was perched on the mid-upper of the brown one, and the two kept flipping around - one to eat, and the other to escape. A group of us halted in our steps because the snake was sprawled across the trail, making it impassable. One shall not interrupt a feasting snake nor go near a snake-fight. So we stood and watched. And finally it was over. The brown snake ate the greenie, and slithered away very quickly into the grass. Wow! Ok, admittedly, I was paranoid for a bit after that. I stared very hard at all the twigs and branches, making sure they were not snakes!
