A long, hot day starting with gym and ending in the drive back to Cape Town.
Somewhere in between those things, this:
A mole snake (Pseudaspis cana) chilling with its head deep in a mole hole in the dunes at Suiderstrand.
It was very accommodating for close up photos, perhaps mainly because its head was deep in a mole hole in the dunes at Suiderstrand.
Super chilled.
But it was also rather warm to the touch, perhaps because it was lying (mostly) in the midday sun.
Anyway, a lovely sighting on our beach wander.
