Opposites challenge: cold

It's quite chilly outside this morning (well, compared to yesterday's 30C anyway!). I spotted this snail out and about while off to get the newspaper and decided he'd be a good way to show 'cold' since they seem to like it when the weather is chilllier... (manual focus - go me!)
