Our Big Backyard photo contest winter 2022 winner: Hallie Madenski, Portland
"Along the Wapato Greenway Loop on Sauvie Island:I looked to my right, not far from the entrance of the trail and saw this beauty sunbathing on top of a rose cane several feet off the ground, completely unfazed by my presence. I've seen many snakes around Portland but this felt like a rare and special moment."
