April 2022: A month in 30 pictures

I went to pick a few of these wild violets from my garden and there seemed to be a little snail graveyard by them. It seemed a good idea to use a natural vase for these little beauties. Getting them to stay put was another matter entirely. The top one was obviously camera shy! I did a version without the extra shell but my husband preferred this one, since I couldn't decide I went with his choice.

... Spring is coming

For Macro Mondays’ theme “Natural shells”

Happy Macro Monday

Greetings from Italy

The snails in my garden are a very obliging bunch. They do have the life of Riley...maybe this is Riley himself!

This small, rather bleached snail shell was on the trail in the woods...

This guy was enjoying being snuggled on my fencepost catching some rays…

Un endroit bien choisi : au soleil et doucement bercé par la brise.

(A well chosen place : in the sun and gently rocked by the breeze)

It's ok it's an empty snail shell. I got quite carried away trying various objects in ice. I was glad of the subzero temperatures as I placed them in snow where they were backlit by the low sun so I had no worries about any of them melting too soon.

Happy Thursday all!!

I saw this snail on a gatepost yesterday and took a photo of it, but then looked again and noticed the edge of the shell, so went in for another macro shot. This time I reduced the size of the screen by two so I had almost no extra background, but I have still cropped it a bit too.

Thank you for your favourites. :O)

This snail was making slow progress, hampered by the dense grass. And my photography was also hampered by our cat Mini, who climbed onto my back as I crouched down, camera in hand, and refused to get off again! We must have looked a strange sight!

Thanks for visiting :)

For the Macro Monday challenge "Wabi-Sabi" (May 18th 2020)

In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi (侘寂) is a world view centred on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete"..... and processes.... [Wiki]

For Monochrome Bokeh Thursday ;o)

I've been experimenting shooting bamboo (got a small patch growing in the garden) and decided to try it out against the reeded glass in the entrance lobby. Having fun with reflections on a glass table too ;o)

Thanks for Viewing.

The fine white sands of beautiful Ogi-ike Beach on Minami-jima are scattered with fossil snail shells like this one. Minami-jima is a small island to the south-west of Chichi-jima (in the Ogasawara Islands chain, Tokyo Prefecture).

Diese Schnecken wissen intuitiv, was sie bei tagelangem Regen machen müssen.Am Abend kriechen sie alle wieder die Stängel der Karde hinunter.

These snails know intuitively what to do when it rains for days and in the evening they all crawl down the stalks of the teasel.

For Macro Monday - Shell

An empty Snail Shell in the garden. 25 mm in diameter.

Way behind today so will catch up as soon as I can.

Happy Macro Monday!

Macro Mondays #Eye

......Look into my eyes, small :-)))

"Looking close... on Friday!"

Thank you all my friends for your kindness, precious time ,faves and nice comments! Have a wonderful weekend!♥

The snail carries the world on his shoulders.

The weight of his entire universe

Hangs firmly over his head,

And he holds on.

The snail leaves a trail wherever he goes.

He leaves his mark,

His silver lining.

Sometimes he goes back,

Or crosses with another snail

And perhaps for a while their trails intertwine.

But the snail must continue his journey alone.

The line is left behind,

Leaving a mark so everyone knows;

'The snail was here'.

For the Macro Monday challenge "Windowsill" (April 27th 2020)

A snail shell found in the garden ... what treasures we find during lock-down ;o)

Our windows all have quite dark wooden frames, so I had to perch the shell on an open window to catch enough sunshine to light the shot!
