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.

Looking out across Snailshell Harbor and Lake Michigan from Fayette Historic Park in Garden, Michigan. What remains of the historic dock pokes from the water.
an old empty snail shell wedged between the bricks of my house, it's been there for close to 10yrs !

Sincere thanks for your views, faves and comments.
Well, pretty close and works well as a good tongue twister. Thought it would be fun to try to get a shot of these four, super tiny snail shells before the waves rolled them away.

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.

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.

I find these empty shells all over the yard. It's too hot and dry for these little animals to survive long.

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.
