Spider and a Snail

[Paul Iddon]

Here are a couple from today in the garden.

First up is an Orb Spider perched around the flower buds of an azalea, and the second one is a very small snail which I barely noticed, on a fallen decayed leaf.

WDYT?

I like the second one, nice detail and color of the leaf.

Thanks Mike. The leaf was probably 95% shades of brown, but up close there are some clear variances.
