I snapped a few photos of the snake and came inside to identify it. One of the local lensmasters in my area keeps a great set of lenses about all sorts of creatures, so I found the lens Snakes of Louisiana and quickly realized that this little guy was a Garter snake... not a moccasin!
Great news... except some tragedy had already occurred outside that I won't disclose. It really does save a lot of trouble and grief to be knowledgeable and experienced with your surroundings-- whatever they happen to be but *especially* out in the country.
A few more photos to share...
The building of the chicken run last week.

The three figs growing healthy and ready to be planted.

... and a little bird's nest with a single egg.
