Eye of a Viper.

I got just my first venomous snake rescue call this year. Of course if it has patterns every snake is a venomous one to people LOL :playful:
But sure enough this one was! A nice little Copperhead. After catching it and relocating it to a safe place away from people I took this image for my book. That makes 11 photos.

Nice photo, very tactile for such a hands off subject matter.
