When I showed the little slow worm for Wordless Wednesday I didn’t think I would post other photos of our encounter in a hurry. Along comes Fan’s FOWC prompt and here it is again, gravel and all.



Title explanation: A common slow worm is known as a “blind slider” (Blindschleiche) or something like that in German, just as the human appendix is known as “blind gut” (Blinddarm).
