Green Fairy- Even a Snail Needs a Pat

I look out onto a fruit tree in my studio/shed at the bottom of the garden. Today the sun has been shining through the leaves all fluttering in the breeze, and that green, broken up light was what stared me off. If you look hard where the green fairy is looking you can see she is giving a snail a friendly pat. Snails are kind of like arial sheep of the forest, grazing where they will, not something we usually pay much attention to unless we are really looking. They have the most amazing patterns and colours on their shells and a quiet determination to do what they do, traveling on their wandery way in which ever direction that takes their fancy. Must be a message in that!
