07/15/11, Sacramento, CA. Hope this doesn't make the gardeners amongst us cringe... I felt guilty at my delight in seeing the snails there, but when I told the the guy who planted the flowers that, he didn't seem to mind them at all. Generous soul.

This is a terrific macro shot, Susan. The color and detail of the snail against the bright yellow is great. #1409785Susan Jane Allen September 21, 2011

I concur with Mitch -- stunning color and detail, Susan. Congratulations on the Finalist (I think I saw two? Will look for the other now that I'm in commenting mode LOL) #9691130Susan Jane Allen September 25, 2011
Thanks Kay and Nikki! Yeah, the other one is a hummingbird spat. Will have to check and see how you did--probably three if not more! And while I'm at it, will check on Ken and Mitch! Teach freshmen this year and they start a month later than the rest in China--so just ended my 3 month vacation today! #9693327Merna L. Nobile September 26, 2011
