Make 30 Photos - Snail's eye view
A fun time while tottering around the garden ! , but it imposes a question !! How good is a Snail's eye-sight ?? Does he detect plants and food by sight , smell, taste ? However I know they are partial to Hosta plants ! = Lovely luscious leaves with a shady nook underneath to shade from the sun ! .
Best on black ,
NB Should have done my research before boldly going out to take my photos !! Googled ! apparently Snails have very poor eyesight ,although have lenses in their eye they have no muscles ,hence can not focus - everything is blurred , and can only sense light and dark , and have no colour vision ! . Snails have excellent sense of smell hence detect food ! @happypat
Wonderful, no slugs or snails on my hosts Beryl. grow in pots, when they first start to show their first tips of leaf I sprinkle with a small amount of salt...
Nice shot and interesting narrative. I would have guessed snails have poor eyesight because we haven't seen any in our garden for a long time. The blue tongue lizards and kookaburras have eaten them all, so I guess the snails didn't see them coming.
Excellent composition and setting
