Snail on leaf
While I'm not happy to see snails in my garden, I do like to find them when I'm out walking. I found both of these alongside a woodland path. The top snail is hiding inside its shell.

The second snail is hiding under some leaves but you can see most of its shell.
I am linking to Saturday Critters HERE.
That kind o snail is just decorative (I hope). Especially the firs one!
ReplyDeleteConsegues sempre lindos cliques! beijos,chica
ReplyDeleteUp until this year there were plenty of snails throughout Pickering. I haven't seen a single one in 2015. I am wondering if the cold winter killed them off.
ReplyDeleteOne doesn't think of them as being particularly bright or nimble animals but I've noticed that they are very quick to retreat to the privacy of their shells when a camera is pointed at them.
ReplyDeleteWish we had some of these here. They make wonderful subjects. :-)
ReplyDeleteDelicious on toast! (ewww... not really)
ReplyDeleteGreat close ups of the snails and their shells! I see plenty of shells in my garden because the crows do a good job of eating the snails!
ReplyDeleteHello, cool find! The snails are neat, I never see with in their shells. Great shots! Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteTotally hypnotic! Great macros!
ReplyDeleteThey used to love our garden in sarnia but I don't see them much here in Ottawa.
ReplyDeletethese snails are so pretty, i have not seen pretty ones here, they are all dull gray/beige and solid. what a find. and once again I have to say you have AMAZING Photography skills
ReplyDeleteStunning photos! We had a neighbour who would pick them to feed to the koi in his pond.
ReplyDeleteThey do have very attractive 'mobile homes' EG :) Agree about them not being welcome in the garden, they can do so much damage in such a short period!
ReplyDeleteBoth snails have beautiful markings adn these are great shots. I hope you have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots.
ReplyDeletebeautiful shells!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful shell design. I have some in my little lily pool.
ReplyDeleteI know they can be very destructive, but they are beautiful! We have some in our aquarium, I like trying to find where they're hiding. Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteTheir shells are beautiful. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch colorful, beautiful shells and, of course, your captures are superb as always!! Wonderful way to start my day -- as always!! Hope you have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteNow this is a marvelous find!
ReplyDeleteVery nice shots!
ReplyDeleteI only tend to see them when they're crossing a sidewalk after rain.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen as many as usual this year, EG! Curious.
ReplyDeleteSaw small flocks of robins flying around at dusk last night.
Snails are cool,in nature!
ReplyDeleteI like them, E.G.G.C., I can understand why you wouldn't want them eating your garden plants though.
ReplyDelete~
Hey, they have to have something to eat, too.
ReplyDeleteThese are two very colourful snails. Great captures.
ReplyDeleteThey do make for good photos.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to be positive. I can definitely say that your photographs are beautiful.....even if I am so sick of them taking over my yard and garden. We've had hundreds of them this year!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have the round-shelled snails here, and the colors of yours are outstanding, particularly the shiny black with yellow trim. We have plenty of slugs, though. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any snails in a long time.
ReplyDeleteThese are very colorful - I like both the brown and black, especially with the white/off-white swirls on them.
Makes for perfect candidates to Saturday's Critters!
Have a Beautiful Day, Tina!
Peace :)
Lovely shots! These snails have very pretty patterns on their shells.
