Snail in Paradise

I may have (actually I know I have) mentioned before how much I enjoy the Bird of Paradise plants and flowers that are always in bloom when I visit San Diego in early March. I always come back with lots of pictures of the colorful, striking blooms. And occasionally I catch something out of the ordinary. Like this snail, firmly attached to the underside of one of the petals (braches?).

Canon SX50HS. Program with iContrast and Auto Shadow Fill. –1/3EV exposure compensation. 45mm macro. f3.5 @ 1/1000th @ ISO 100. Processed in Lightroom for intensity, clarity, and sharpness.

    You caught a wonderful color combination. Hope the snail didn’t do too much damage to this gorgeous plant.
