Snail on a Red Hot Poker
14th May 2024
About this memory
I love how much colour these red hot pokers bring to a small communal flower patch near my street in Fairmilehead. I was delighted to see this snail who had somehow slid up over the petals to enjoy the early morning dew that was still covering them. Their shell is dented but they still seem to be thriving against the odds.
