MOUNTAIN SNAIL 😇. Nature always manages to amaze me, even in its humblest and most daily manifestations. Surroundings of Portacomaro, Piedmont, ITALY.
Lots of small snail on the Oak leaves yesterday. I didn't notice the damage to this one until I was processing the image.
The small island of Filfla. About 3 miles off the south coast of Malta.It has an area of about 15 acres and is a crumbling flat-topped limestone plateau surrounded by 200 feet high cliffs. An important sea bird sanctuary.It was used in the past for target practice by the RAF and RN. A type of wall lizard (Podarcis filfolensis ssp. filfolensis) and door snail (Lampedusa imitatrix gattoi) are endemic to the island.
Either a female or a juvenile snail kite.

Thanks for visiting and for your faves and comments.
I finally decided to delete a lot of photos and free up disk space. I also found some photos that I completely forgot about, so now I'm sorting out the files as well.

Imagine this small harbor in Michigan's Upper Peninsula about 140 years ago. There would have been lumberjacks cutting hundred-year old White Cedar trees, stone cutters fashioning blocks of dolomite from the cliffs, with crews bringing the logs and stone to the bustling town of Fayette at this shoreline. That would have been the beehive of activity, building the company town of Fayette, with furnaces to produce charcoal that fired the furnaces for extracting iron from the ore taken from nearby mines.
Today, Fayette is a "ghost town" that has been restored and maintained as a Michigan State Historical Park.

Starts with a single step. A tiny snail starting a long journey. (To the end of the garden bench !) Happy Snail Saturday !
The snail couldn’t run from me & I put it on this pomegranate to take a few pics with my phone. I then let the snail go in my yard & sliced up the pomegranate.
Hi folks, another from that early morning outing and well worth the effort. Today was just as good and let me tell you folks, that when you pass up Hawks you know that you have to take stock and rethink your priorities.
There was a time we had to search them out and now there is an abundance, thank goodness.
Thank you so much for the visit and have a great evening.
Our garden is filled with these little snails at the moment - you can see their trails everywhere, but they find shady spots to hide in the daytime. This one was overturned on the path... I set him upright after taking the picture, before he suffered too much in the sunshine :).
I played with Nik Efex again with this one, using the analog plug in. I've been going through a LOT of vintage photographs recently, so this effect looks pretty normal to me at the moment!
Many thanks for looking - it's always appreciated :).
Often considered a pest, this creature does have redeeming qualities. The shell has 4 or 5 spirals ranging from dark brown to a golden color, and is quite beautiful when viewed closely. It usually lives in forests, meadows, hedges, farmland, gardens and parks. As it frequents crops for food, it is often considered an undesirable pest.
