Once again today, I was planning a night shot. Once again, it fell through. Once again, I had to revert to a reserve shot I had taken during the day.
Most of the snails we get around home are like this one and have a soft shell that is all broken. I don't know what their problem is and I don't care because I hate slugs and snails.
Wave bye bye to everyone snail.
Actually I can't look at snails the same way since I saw them in Minuscule.
Ah, man, he's cute! Of course I'm not the one dealing with his potentially destructive ways. Really good picture of him though. The day I find a snail around here, there'll be some whoopin' and yollerin' 'cause I'll have a photo subject for the day. Got a laugh out of your commentary, I must say.
I'm sure they've got a place but I haven't worked out what it is yet; until I do they don't last long in my garden. But it's a great shot, nevertheless and interesting about the shells. I haven't seen that before. Love the textures in your shot.
Wonderful shot - love the brown tones. I'm kind of one of those "live and let live" types but I understand their lack of appeal! For whatever reason snails seem a tad better than than slugs!
