Tiny Traveller

For someone so small, he really had quite a turn of speed. Didn't even stop to smell the flowers!
How cute is this!!!!

@suzanne234 You guessed! I added a teleconverter to it as well. Felt quite sorry for that snail. I found him on some cow parsley seed heads, brought him and the seed head home and kept popping him on the gerbera ...

Oh how sweet of you to upgrade his accommodation, its a lovely shot.

@suzanne234 giggle!

Sweet little thing, nice with the bright colour of the flower.

Nice catch if a strange place to find a snail :)

@suzanne234 Upgrade his accommodation?!?? More like kidnapped, held hostage and made to perform repetitive tasks!!! Where's the Geneva Convention for snails?

@peadar And the worse bit is I promised him the freedom of the garden but - he fell off and was so tiny I couldn't find him. So he only has the freedom of the conservatory ...

@fbailey I hope he's made of stern stuff. Goodness gracious, I'm lost for words... 😎

@peadar I think the negotiations took too long so nothing was agreed.

Just precious!!

Fabulous shot and focus.

You are the only person who would bring a snail INTO your garden! I am busy flinging them over the fence while I can before someone moves in next door. It is a lovely photo!

Lovely close up!

Love the shot, but do hope you despatched the subject afterwards. Hate snails, ruin everything.

I think he is lovely, as is your photo!

Great shot of the snail on the beautiful flower. I have to say I found the above comments very entertaining too.

Well spotted and captured.

Well done on looking after the snail! They are part of the natural nutrient cycle and in turn provide a needed food source to birds and other predators. Really they're only a problem to sick or weak plants in an unnatural setting. :D

Also it's good to see the new lens in use! I like how the converter makes it 0mm!

Awesome capture 😊

He's so tiny - you can see through his shell!! Fabulous!
October 13th, 2017  
Beautiful shot!
October 15th, 2017  
You know, I thinkI i'd prefer it without the snail! Zoom right in on the snail and you'd have another shot!
