John Wall and his dog, Dash, were walking at Gualala Point Regional Park when they came across this scene.

John and Dash found an Oregon Gartersnake nabbing an Alligator Lizard. That's a pretty big meal for the Gartersnake. Here's another angle.

Did you know gartersnakes are beneficial in your garden? They eat slugs and bugs, along with snails. No need to be afraid of them...unless you are an alligator lizard like the one in John's photo!

Thanks to John for allowing me to share his photos with you here.

Much cooler now and it really feels like autumn. Strong breezes today too.
