I don't know how long this snail shell had been around, but it must have been a few seasons at least. It's not nearly as washed out as I would have expected.

Sunday, May 15, I decided to try using only the camera in my phone for photo opportunities in Balboa Park.

 

I'm really pleased with how well it recorded this snail shell and bougainvillea flowers.

on my walks yesterday i picked up one beautiful snailshell. it lay on the middle of wide asphalt road and absolutely dead, half dry inside. no life signs. but so beautiful!! so i took it home and put it on a shelf. today i thought to take couple of photos of it - and it literally became alive under my camera lens!! like a miracle!! it hadn't budged the whole night and day on my shelf. so i shot my photos and then took it onto the balcony into a big pot of sunflower thicket and colourful-nettle-thingies. i hope he likes it there :) mr.Buddy Swirl.

Old froggy was near the edge of the pond so it gave me the chance to focus tightly on the eye i used torch light and flash to achive the shot
