Tiny Snail



While composing photos of the lilies I was pleasantly surprised to find this tiny snail attached to the underside of one of the blossoms.

A macro shot reveals the beautiful intricate patterns that make up its shell.

  18. I like this, Salty. It certaily appears that this snail belongs on the underside of that lilly petal.
