On Day Two Deric Cook and I hiked the Buxton Woods trail and the Brittish Soldier memorial trail area in Buxton NC.  We walked a wide path with blooming jasmine and live oaks on either side and were lulled into a peaceful calm by the flowing water and singing birds, it was a surreal place.  Around 2 miles into our hike I saw a loosely coiled Black Racer snake at the base of a stump and as I set up my shots it scooted off and then I saw another one.  We hiked another few miles and on the way back I decided to set up my camera on a tripod and just see if they would come back out of their stump hole and much to my chagrin, they did!  Enjoy.  Music was created by Thomas LaVine.  Go check him out on Spotify, iTunes, and etc...
