Oh that did make me laugh Stanley!!!! What a great spot and photograph that.

Many thanks my friend - a super SF image.

Oh my goodness! For a minute there I thought this really was a snake evolved to look like leaves. There are certainly insects that mimic leaves this well, but I'd never heard of reptiles mimicking botanicals. Botanicals mimicking snakes ... well, that's another matter, and far less disturbing ;)
