I would have passed that shot by, thinking “Oh, it’s dull, and all browns and greys.”, but you showed just how wrong I would have been. Very interesting composition and FULL of life.
I spotted a pair of them in the gutter out front during my walk, amid the litter of dead leaves, twigs and dried grass. I know from photographing snails before that they have this amazing textured flesh. I liked it enough to share, so glad you all liked it too. 🙂

Thank you Barbara. I had a second one with a bit more definition in the shell, but this one pleased me more.

Snails – Remember when dad used to go round the back yard throwing them into a bucket with salt, yukky.
