These are great to watch as they to and fro stocking each cell with pollen for their offspring then sealing them with pulp. Then, once she's done that she turns the shell face down and covers it with little sticks and stems which she brings in on the wing. They look like little Bees on broomsticks when they do this, its great to see but hard to catch on film, still, one of these days...
Ivinghoe Beacon, Bucks.
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.

I love the beach. Sadly, I don't live near the sea. Neverthless, we have some really nice lakes in Carinthia. You may know the 'Wörthersee', but I'm mostly at the 'Kraiger See'. If you want to know how this lake looks like, take a look at this old photo from me. I think it's from 2008…
Today will be really stressful. I have so many things to do. I want to visit my photo store because my Nikon Fm has some problems with its mirror. After pushing the release button, the mirror won't flip back anymore. Does anybody had the same problem and knows how to fix that? If so, please send me a FlickrMail! Afterwards, I need to complete some things for a birthday party and when I finally finished that part, I need to go shopping :) Last but not least, some friends and I will visit Beba, who has her birthday today! So I don't know what I'm going to do today for my photo, but I'll see.

We have dozens of spiders that make nests within their cobweb by curling up a leaf to act as a hide or shelter but occasionally we see one who has used a discarded snail shell, somehow they haul it up into the foliage and make it their own special place. Who says insects are not clever? Brilliant utilisation of resources. Once there they wait and when an insect hits their web dive out and dispatch or catch their lunch
Long exposure, Snailshell habor, Fayette State Park. 105mm Nikkor, Polypan-F film. Polarizer and red filter.
I only saw the tiny empty snail shell when I cropped the photo ;-) The centipede is about 2-3 cm in length. Found under a flower pot on the patio.

Last night was an opportunity to try out various forms of studio lights at our photographic society meeting. I used LED lights for some shots of small objects I brought with me.
