Condensation

Posted by Tracey (Maryland, United States) on 3 August 2009 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Bass Harbor, Maine

Found on the side of a building while walking along a trail. It was so foggy that day that dew was everywhere. I was astonished this dew drop hadn't fallen off the shell yet.

@Tracy: Hehe! I am not sure if you meant "good" or were playing off the fact that the snail is "goo-ey!" ;0) Thanks for the comment!

@ClaudiaBCN: Thanks Claudia...the focus was actually quite difficult. It was very foggy and gray this day and the light was horrible. I appreciate the comment!

Really nice snail; the red brick and dew on it is a great touch. You got in a lot of detail.
