Some snails have used an old brick as a place to rest.

there are the little things in life

Life is like a spiral of good and bad experiences.

You are never static.

You are either moving up or down the spiral.

The choice of direction is yours.

This tiny snail was about 1/2 the size of my little finger nail.

The big shell is one of my old shells.

Well the little blighter started to come out of the shell and go a-wandering. Have not sighted him since. So somewhere in my kitchen I have a little snail.

Have to post and run for the moment. Just arrived home from a Sunday shift.

Sticks And Stones..

A couple of weeks back we packed up and headed for a local park, hiking deep into the woods.

I find that when I am surrounded by the wonderful quietness of the forest, I become acutely aware of the rustling of leaves and twigs as squirrels and other wildlife scurry about their day to day business. .

as we w2alked we could hear the dry ground crunching under our feet, as i looked closer i saw we were walking on tiny snail shells. all of them were discarded and none had any live snails in them. but this one was un scathed as it was burried in the sandy loam that covers the forest floor.

Spending time in the garden over the past weeks and months, I find myself collecting all manner of things to bring indoors and photograph. As the garden is full of birds and full of snails too ... well there are always snail shells hidden in unexpected corners! Cleaned and sorted ... a few here in a scallop shell!

The other morning I spotted this tiny snail on a stalk and wondered whether it was alive because I never before saw one so dark. It had been frosty in the night and I feared it was dead. But patience was rewarded - finally it moved and sloooowly turned on the stalk and made its way back down.

At home I had to check on the internet where actually might be the eyes in that strange face ;-) they are at the tips of the long upper antennae. I never knew that before, otherwise I would have tried to get them into focus too.

Seen in a landscape protection area in Achim near Bremen - Lower Saxony - Germany.

Neulich morgens entdeckte ich diese winzige Schnecke auf einem Halm und hatte mich gefragt ob die überhaupt lebt, weil ich noch nie eine so dunkle gesehen hatte. In der Nacht hatte es Frost gegeben und ich dachte schon sie wäre tot. Aber Geduld wird belohnt - am Ende bewegte sie sich doch, wendete laaaangsam auf dem Halm und machte sich wieder auf den Weg nach unten.

Zu Hause musste ich erst mal im Internet nachschauen, wo überhaupt die Augen in diesem seltsamen Gesicht sind ;-) Sie sind an den Spitzen der langen oberen Fühler. Hatte ich vorher nicht gewusst, sonst hätte ich versucht die mit scharf zu bekommen.

Gesehen im Landschaftsschutzgebiet in Achim bei Bremen.

Happy Snail Saturday have a great day ;0)
