    When I went out today there was a snail in one of the vanda's roots. Sometimes it's when I'm shooting, but more commonly after I hit the zoom on the picture. Especially the tiny crawlers...always lets me know when it's time to spray again. My neighbors have to think i'm bonkers. lol There goes that plant woman with her camera again...
