My Favorite "Garters in the Wild" pics

[Steven@HumboldtHerps]

Grrrr! How I would love to post some new "Garters of 2008" pics! Fire season here in NW California has smoked out my favorite summer camping / herping spots.

So, I guess I will just post some of my favorite "on locations" I have so far...
