SLOW DOWN! by vickisfotos

SLOW DOWN!

The summer is racing away!!!
Here in Oregon, we mostly have slugs...now and then we see a snail, but they are not nearly as common as a snail. Something about that cute little shell on their backs that makes them picturesque.
Fantastic capture and composition, Vicki! Love your title and narrative! I have yet to see a snail where I live in South Carolina. I think it's too hot for them.

@marlboromaam well, both snails and slugs are so destructive in the yard...I have to put slug bait out constantly to protect the flowers and veggies. I am sure you have other pests, but these are what we have to deal with here...

Isn't it amazing that as destructive as they can be, there is still such natural beauty? Nice!

Cute! Love the trail too. Weird that it's in dots.

I love it as well. Nice to see the marks left behind.

I like your snail, too! That trail is funny.

Great capture--so cool that you got his little "trail". It will be September before we know it, eh.

Really cute! Love the trail behind him. We also don't have snails, I don't think I've ever seen one, although I've seen slugs.

Like the way you've taken the trail he is leaving behind and made a diagonal element in your composition!

I love this shot and reminder!!!! The trail is funny!!! Fav!!!
July 8th, 2012  
Isn't that funny. Slugs just gross me out, but these guys are kinda cute, aren't they?

Cool capture. Love that trail.

Fantastic composition!!! Love the tones.

Great catch.

Great capture - clever little things carting their home on their back. We are continually having to bait them, too. After rain they are in their thousands.

A dotted trail?, how cool is that? I love this pic! Fav!
July 9th, 2012  
Love this. Reminds me of an old Simon and Garfunkle song.
July 9th, 2012  
love your title! FAV

Great title - love the snail trail...definitely a pest for the plants though!!

Yuk, we hate snails down here in Cali!! I put out a pie plate with beer in it to drown them. They are pests in our gardens and can decimate your crops or plants! But....that said, nice capture of this little pest!!
