A Wild Snail Drinking (1)
I discovered this little guy one morning in a garden down the street from where I live. The photo is not as sharp as I would like (events unfolded quickly lol), but this image along with the one following it, tells a story. You see, I witnessed this snail drink a raindrop from the flower above it. It was such a magical moment that has stayed with me since. I love this little snail! How brave and amazing it is as it gently and gracefully moves about the world.
One of my favourite books is called The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating by Elisabeth Tova Bailey. It's a poetic and beautifully written non-fiction nature account/memoir, and after reading it, I guarantee that you will never think of snails in the same way. I am in awe of them.
