The best way is up ! by beryl

The best way is up !

This snail decided that climbing up the wall was safer than the wrath of Gary's spade as he was digging the flower border yesterday ;. Love the markings on its shell . Today as forecasted it is much cooler and starting to rain , good job that Gary got the digging done yesterday and now hopefully we will get some moisture into the soil before I replant some of the perennials there !
It certainly has interesting shell markings. Best if it makes a hasty retreat before you replant!

'Bebbuxu' is what we call him in Maltese. He has nice markings. Great shot.

Yes you were just in time! I bet Gary’s back is quite stiff today, what with digging & the shopping I hope he’s had a quieter day! It’s amazing how fast these snails move! They would love the rain at last!
