I've heard the story about the Tortoise and the Hare but here's one about the Snail and the Rabbit... The stone rabbit lives permanently in the bird bath. He used to live on the lawn years ago but one day my young son was kicking a football around in bare feet. Out of the corner of his eye he thought Rabbit was the ball and kicked it hard. A trip to A&E and 2 broken toes later we decided to move Rabbit somewhere safer and encourage the use of shoes in the garden! It was great to see this snail sharing a joke with Rabbit this morning. I'm sure I saw him laugh 😆
P.S. I'm getting blank looks from the kids by using the phrase "shell-like". It's a slang term for "ear". Nice to know I've educated them just a little bit more! 🐌🐌🐌
Part of the ear is known as the Concha and as you say = shell like.
Many years (not ears) of being and Ear, nose & throat Nurse.
Great shot. The snail looks to be quite speedy. As I mentioned to JackieR last week snail slime is apparently good for the complexion. Not that I have tried it!
I am laughing at them not knowing "shell-like" as it is a phrase I have used all my life! And I have to say, painful though it sounds, I laughed at the mistaken kick! Big ouchies. I love this for its humour, instant fav
Not heard "shell-Like" in English (in Dutch we do have the word "ear-shell") I love 365 for many reasons, but learning new things is one of them! Great picture too!
