Found the skin that a snake left behind!

on
 What did I do with this snake skin?  I made an abstract art piece, of course!   This snake skin was left by a small river in an even smaller town up in the mountains of Virginia.  I went there for a hike with my Grey Ghost, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law and her dog.  It was VERY WARM!  So, we let the dogs get a splash on the water for a bit.  ...and there it was, the snake skin.   I didn't pick it up.  I was too busy holding my puppy so it wouldn't try to get it, or worse: destroy it!   My mother-in-law picked it up, cleaned it, and stored it carefully in her bag.   Once it dried, I used small pieces to have it as a memento in my sketchbook.  And this is the little abstract that came out of that: https://youtu.be/IggvuqA6NXg?si=yUfoO-3pmVEIRyYk
