Little treasure on a Lilypad

This was such a pretty sight, seen from the canoe that two of us were paddling on the huge pond at the Medicine River Wildlife Centre, near Raven, Alberta. This old snail shell was resting on a Yellow Pond Lily leaf. I was so thrilled to see Yellow Pond Lilies again - I think I've only ever seen them in two locations - and we paddled past several that were growing in this pond/lake. This telemacro shot was taken on 27 July 2012.
