This photo is a good symbol for my personal philosophy. I don't think that one place, country or whatever is per se better than the other, every medal has two sides
Almost stepped on this little one, and got a fun close up shot from the telephoto camera on the X300 Ultra.
So, one of the best/most interesting things I've seen on Springwatch this year is the Osmia building her nest in a snail shell clip. Something I witnessed myself a couple of years ago... And something I had been wanting to see for ages. The Two-coloured mason-bee, Osmia bicolor, in action is a rare sight to catch indeed. This is the closest I've got to date.
Anyway, this is a shot from back then ... laying the thatch that goes over the top of the shell... This was on a 60° slope and near impossible to stand steady, much slipping and sliding. It would have been great to get some footage, maybe a job for another day.

I found a video on YouTube that shows the process too.
Inside Jagdschloss Granitz on the island of Rügen in the Baltic Sea. The spiral staircase is made of cast iron with a beautifully intricate design. It is in perfect harmony with the wooden ceiling and reminds me of a snail shell.

I found this abandoned shell on the rough pastureland. No sign of the occupant, so presumably said occupant has left, for whatever reason ... don't know why, looks like a des res to me!
Feather decorating the murky, debris filled shoreline water
filled with duckweed, snail shells, cypress tree foliage and broken sticks, etc. Nature isn't always perfect. :)
Took a very short walk at the park on a very cool, gray, overcast, slightly drizzly afternoon. Nothing going on so tried to find a few things to capture to pass the time. Sunshine to return in a day or so along with warming temps.
