Es ist noch zu kalt, die Hausbesitzerin hat sich noch in ihrem Haus eingeschlossen. - It´s still cold, the house-owner is still encase.

no photo-manipulation, i just used the cover of a glossy car-magazine for the shoot. found this empty snailshell in the garden this afternoon, not knowing what to do with it, when all of a sudden the idea sprung in mind.

Daily in October, today with the Pentax-M 100 f4 macro at f8.

Was it something you would do for anybody? Was it what you'd only do for me?

4th photo in a series of 4.

Ils se nourissent de feuilles mortes, donc on les voit autour des arbres et arbustes feuillus. Leur taille dépassent rarement celle d'une noisette.

Ils sont hermaphrodites, mais ne peuvent se reproduire qu'en couple parce que leurs gamettes mâles n'atteignent pas la maturité en même temps que leurs gamettes femelles.

N.B. je leur ai donné une couche de verni

I came across this rather big snail shell on the forest floor, Munich Olympic Park.

this is in-progress...but the first hurdle is done!

2. hesitates...

About 7mm long. Perched in a vertical position just inside a door frame. Introduced species in Australia.

I liked the texture and pattern, so I took a picture. The other day the internet was out and I had to be somewhere in not too long, so with a little time to kill I edited this all to hell, and now ... I dunno if I like it or not. Doesn't matter, uploading it anyway. YOU NEED TO SEE THIS SNAIL SHELL, right?

G found these at our house, we were both totally fascinated.

Three shell´s from edible snails.

See where this picture was taken. [?]

Hanging out at my friend's house in Bedford, I realized there was a little still life on the deck in front of me.

...meiner schändlichen Tat.

Bathseba hat auch einmal versucht eine Schnecke (lebendig natürlich) zu essen, aber sie hat das widerspenstige Ding einfach nicht aus dem Haus zerren können. Naja, immerhin Geschmack hat sie bewiesen ;o)

Old snail shell at the Edith G. Read Nature Center (Rye, New York)--March 21, 2009

Last photo in a series of 4. It's a very lively snail now.

...because I was : "to retreat into one's shell" this year.

White-lipped Banded Snail. (Cepaea hortensis) or Brown-liped Banded Sail (Cepaea nemoralis)

Snails have 4 tentacles, two small ones for feeling and smell two larger for seeing, although they have poor vision.

Snails feed by scraping a ribbon-like tongue covered in horny teeth called a radula, over their food.

According to the woman the snail shell pieces are from a 30+ necklace that belonged her grandfather, a shaman. It appears it was restored more recently and the cotton was replaced.
