Snakes on a Brain

To paraphrase Samuel L. Jackson’s character in a movie of similar title, Olivia was all “I've had it with these mother-of-god snakes on this mother-of-god foray” while we ambled through the forests of a county park. Now mind you that we didn’t see any slithering creatures during our hike, but the prospect of spotting one was enough to trip her reptilian brain’s instinct to flee, which we did immediately after I snapped this pic to commemorate our trek – after bribing her with a lollipop and convincing her that snakes wouldn’t be traveling on the footbridge on which she was standing, of course.
