Not the best picture quality, but the subject matter was too cute to pass up.

This Malaysian Trumpet Snail crawled up and over an Anubias leaf to where a cherry shrimp was feeding.  It extended out of its shell towards the shrimp and the shrimp literally did a double-take and backpedalled a few steps.  It was super cute and I was lucky to capture the moment :) Enjoy!

Edit: For those who missed the photography workshop, too bad.  Michel did a great job even if modeling wasn't on his agenda  :-X :'( :-[ ::)

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.  So love the people who treat you right.  Forget about the one's who don't.  Believe everything happens for a reason.  If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.  If it changes your life, let it.  Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
