Yes, another day and another image presents itself.  This morning while on a walk heading toward the estuary hoping to see once again the flamingos that have decided to make a short-term stop on their way to their nesting grounds, I came across this snake crossing the sandy road.  The original photo is crisp and clear, but I wanted to alter it slightly using Adobe and this was the result, softer, more dream-like.

The snake has a bad rap in my opinion and in defence of them, I want to look at the snake in symbolic terms, in Jungian terms.  Joseph Campbell wrote in his book, The Power of Myth, that :

the snake is the symbol of life throwing off the past and continuing to live.

Carl Gustav Jung writes in his book, Man and His Symbols:

This is the universal quality of the animal as a symbol of transcendence. These creatures, figuratively coming from the depths of the ancient Earth Mother, are symbolic denizens of the collective unconscious. They bring into the field of consciousness a special chthonic (underworld) message …

In Mayan tradition, the snake symbolises the underworld, the realm of the unconscious contents.  There is little doubt now why this particular snake made it way into my field of view at this time.   Like all the other symbols that are presenting themselves, there is constant reinforcement about the nature of my journey at this moment in time.
