Shy Escargot in Focus
As one Singaporean lass feeds on the creepy crawlies while she's asking for my name and nationality and other things, I took that opportunity to ask her to bring out her pets so that I could take pictures. After that, she opened all of her pets showcases and put each outside so I could take snaps at all of them. I was so thrilled and thanked her for her generosity. I gave her my friend's number instead after the long chit-chat :)

Quote of the Day:
"The medium of photography can record not only what the eyes see, but that which the mind's eye sees as well. The camera is not only an extension of the eye, but of the brain. It can see sharper, farther, nearer, slower, faster than the eye. It can see by invisible light. It can see in the past, present, and future. Instead of using the camera only to reproduce objects, I wanted to use it to make what is invisible to the eye, visible." -Wynn Bullock

Unbeliaveble sharp and beautiful image.

Gidday Freddie,
This is a well exposed macro and a great natural history shot. It would be very well recieved on Trek Nature I'm sure.
Its similar to our giant land snail, Powelliphanta.
Excellent capture.
Cheers
