Refuge discovered - a photo on Flickriver

Refuge discovered

            I spotted this snail moving at droplet speed toward an opening to an underground irrigation control box.  There it will wait until sunset or when the nearby field is watered at night to reemerge.  That's how a snail survives in Southern California during a drought.
