a small one 'au naturel'

Through the kitchen window yesterday evening I noticed small snails crawling languidly across the top of the box hedge so out I went with my camera.

I guess you would have him in the pan in two shakes of a lamb's tail?!

[wendy frost]

A super capture and he has a very smart little house

[Kane Arlow]

Great capture, is this the sushi equivalent of Escargot?

Kane, thanks but do you mind if I don't think about that?!!!! (Not long since I had my Shredded Wheat!!!)

Do I hear the sound of munching? :-)

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

We have similar minds again Hazel, great close-up of the speed merchant, compared to mine today, FAV from me.

[Rosie Kind]

I bet the thrushes would like to find these

[Hazel]

@ladymagpie

That was interesting information you gave about the speed of a slug! Ugh! Sorry, they freak me out - snails with a shell on are somehow more palatable - didn't mean that literally!!! Thanks for the fav!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Awesome closeup, Hazel. Fav!

[Margaret Brown]

Beautiful capture!

[Paula W]

Love the subtle tones in this one Hazel and the textures of the box hedge make an interesting backdrop to the little snail.

[Gerry]

Great Composition Hazel and a FAV.
