Saw this while walking in the countryside some weeks ago.
Joke: I got a snail from the pet shop and took it home with me. He took one look at my house and said,
"Wow! I wouldn't want to carry that on my back!"
Thank you very much for looking and for all the lovely comments and the fav's on yesterday's picture.
we learn something new everyday. from all the other comments, i am not the only one who did not know snails like cactus - but if they are around them, i can understand why they would want them. wonderful capture. dof is beautiful.
What a fascinating find and capture! Like other people who have commented, it's not an environment in which I would expect to see snails but I would guess they are attracted to cacti because of the amount of water stored in them.
lovely shot... haha, this morning my nephew (aged 4) told me I'm bad because I've got some cactus plants, and I must throw them away before somebody gets hurt on them! ;) haha, it was cute!
