The Escape 9/9
The Harry Houdini of snails! Death defying act (sort of).
I was actually washing vegetables in the sink for dinner tonight when I spotted this guy in the water. Initially I thought it was dead but it actually stuck it's head out of its shell underwater so I fished it out of the water. Drowning is a horrible way to go no matter what species you are I suppose.
When I saw it stuck it's head out again on the side of my sink, I knew it was photo op time. Tell you what it is pretty shy when it's been picked up and moved around. It took a long time for it to pop it's head out again and decide to make a quick get away. They can actually move when they want to!
These are all reverse macro shots, some with my nifty fifty, some with my 70-200mm at 70mm. Please look at the set here.
