Lena found a snail-shell and picked up a stowaway.

One of a colony of very pretty snails who live under the railway bridge on Smithdown Road

Catching some rays in the garden

I don't think you can tell from this photo as the sun was very bright, but the colours in the shell matched the stones perfectly.

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

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.

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.
