Snail shells from a Devon garden resting on top and inside Brick (coutesy Bob Ballard) on Brandon Steep Wall, Bristol BS1
on my walks yesterday i picked up one beautiful snailshell. it lay on the middle of wide asphalt road and absolutely dead, half dry inside. no life signs. but so beautiful!! so i took it home and put it on a shelf. today i thought to take couple of photos of it - and it literally became alive under my camera lens!! like a miracle!! it hadn't budged the whole night and day on my shelf. so i shot my photos and then took it onto the balcony into a big pot of sunflower thicket and colourful-nettle-thingies. i hope he likes it there :) mr.Buddy Swirl.
Old froggy was near the edge of the pond so it gave me the chance to focus tightly on the eye i used torch light and flash to achive the shot

Doing a project on nature and got the idea of painting nature/in the style of artists on shells! :P This ones In the style of Thaneeya McArdle
There were lots of snails in the woods - some of them had very lovely coloured shells.
This was taken as a bit of an experiment, with a +10 diopter added to the EOS (basic 18-55mm lens).
This photo does not do justice to this pillbox It is just like a Cumberland type pillbox with a snailshell entrance and three sand bag ledges inside. There was also a sand bag building attached that was lived in after the war by a family untill the 50s when it was pulled down.
O'Melveny Park is L.A.'s second largest behind Griffith Park. The park was severely damaged in the massive Sayre Fire in November 2008. I think this is a charred snail shell.
