Way back in 2010 I came across this little guy lurking among my bonsai trees. Night was falling and I was forced to use on-camera flash, but I was determined to get the shot. It was a wise decision because by morning he'd vanished and I've never seen him or one of his relations since. I still wonder where he came from as there are no bodies of water anywhere near where I live.
When I chose this old photo for today's post I decided to re-edit it as I'd like to think my editing skills have improved over the last six years. I'm glad I did because viewing the photo at 100% magnification I discovered a tiny surprise. I always assumed that the white spot next to his eye was a reflection caused by the flash, but I was mistaken.
It's actually a tiny little snail!
