8-4 Groundnut

 8-4

The brownish-purple peas shaped flowers of Groundnut drape over moist thickets. The root of the groundnut is a round edible tuber.

Atop trailside thickets at least 4 garter snakes were basking 2 or more feet above the densely shaded ground. Note that one has the milky looking eyes of a snake that's about to shed its skin.
