out for a morning stroll in the sunshine..........

.........and so was I, with Jinks in his lampshade collar, and got a slightly quizzical look from a fellow dog walker as I crouched on the pavement to get this shot...

Beautiful Hazel! What a lovely yellow shell and you can even see its eye! Very pretty - for a snail.

Lovely picture and I like your sense of humour.

@tishpics Thank you! Maybe not everybody's cup of tea, so to speak!

[Hazel]

@carwyn3 Thank you, Mervin, it's always a bit hit and miss taking a shot with one hand with Jinks' lead in the other - and crouching down as well...............

Our snails aren't as colourful as yours so this is most interesting. I like the humour in your composition.

[Sterling Rush]

Very nice macro & great capture!

@doblaine @gnilrets Many thanks for your comments. I remember, ages ago, collecting these lemon shells on the beach in Guernsey but this is the first time I've seen an inhabitant of one!

[David Shimmings]

We are getting very interesting colours in the garden now. Is it climate change I wonder?

[Genny Hale]

love it!

[Paula]

Wow, I have never seen a yellow snail. Ours are very dreary and brown, hard to see in a garden. Great macro and I can just imagine you taking this with Jinks in the other hand :-)

@gennygenny @creativeamateur thank you. It's the first time I've seen a yellow snail shell in motion i.e. inhabited! The big ones that eat all the nice plants in the garden are also brown and dreary here.
