Day 80 - Slow as Snails


Our apartment complex becomes Snail Central when it rains and today was no exception. You have to watch where you walk or you are bound to hear a crunch under your feet which gives me the heeby jeebies. Yuck!

Just wanted to thank each of you who follow and who take the time to stop and comment. I know following a lot of blogs, sometimes it is hard to have enough time to comment on everyone's blogs but I truly appreciate the comments. They are encouraging.

Carlynn said...

There are a lot of great textures in this photo.

Mel said...

Yuck! Just the thought makes me cringe. But great shot of such a yucky little guy.

Unknown said...

Awww! It's so cute hanging on there! Other than that, yeah, not a snail fan. :)

Jaime said...

Ew...you got me at the 'crunch' part. :/ Neat photo though!

Cheryl said...

I get lots and lots of slugs, and they eat up the roots and folage on my plants. :-(

Shannon said...

Pass the salt. Tee hee.

Lois said...

Nice photo of a not so nice snail.

Kathy said...

Love this shot!

karren said...

I am not a snail fan, but they are interesting creatures. You certainly got a good photo of him and I like how he's climbing a tree!

Ruth Hiebert said...

This is a good picture of a creature not usually photographed.

Kristy Johnson said...

Wow! Nothing like that here! Maybe their cousins, the slugs... but no snails! At least they're slow enough to get great shots like this one! :)

Oops, lucky this one is not on the ground !

BobbieCoughlin said...

At first I thought the poor snail was crawling across the snow.

Kathleen said...

What a cool shot!! I didn't like snails until I saw this shot - now I almost do! :)

Great capture of the snail, but it sure would be gross to actually step on one.

Chelsea said...

Wow, I never see many snails! Great detail in his shell!

Unknown said...

This is such a great photo! My boys would absolutely love it!

Tracy said...

Very cute! Love the textures! I would not like them crunching under my feet as well...we have nightcrawlers that get all smashed after the rain..yuk!

Kristin said...

Ewwwy subject but interesting photo. I'm still squiggling in my seat from the thought of the crunch!

You're welcome on the comments comment. I know that comments are what keep me motivated and going when I start to run out of steam, so I'm happy to return the favor....plus I LOVE you blog. :o)

Kristin said...

BTW, congrats on the feature on Nap Time Mom Tog. Very cool and loved what you said about yourself.

What a super shot - I love this! That snail obviously knows about the importance of contrast in photographs - it chose to climb up a white trunk rather than a brown one! ;-)

Unknown said...

The snails eat everything (flowers) I hate them but the shot is great:)

Photography said...

Oh the crunch part! Visualizing it now lol :-) Ditto for the comments I appreciate yours too :-)

Mari said...

Great shot! I wouldn't want them under my feet either!

I got the heebie jeebies just thinking about a "crunch" under my foot!
I love this picture- and the angle it's at- really makes that snail look like he's movin' quick!

Clara said...

The details in the snail are fabulous. A great image of a yucky subject.

Lisa Gordon said...

What a fantastic shot Misty!
Cute little guy!!

Unknown said...

I've not seen a snail this year so this is my first. I love the detail in the shell and the colour and tone. An excellent capture.

Si

Melissa said...

Ack!!! I was okay until the "crunch" part. Yuck.
Very nice detail, however!

Branson said...

So cool! I had to call the hubs to come see this one! He loved it ;-)

Wonderfully crisp and clear photo. Loads of detail on the bark and on the snail too.
