This is great! I love the way you did that inset close-up, with the larger photo as the backdrop.

@Viewfinder: I loved Quiniln's water-logged, "pruney" hand, but I also wanted to show a closer view of the snail.

@Susan: Oh, Susan, you're not fearful of the little lizards/geckos, I hope. I think they're adorable and never hurt a human.
As for snails and slugs, they're pretty slippery, that's for sure! :d
