On the Road Again
Posted by Michael Fresh (Chester, United Kingdom) on 18 June 2012 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
One of many discovered today in the herbaceous border.
My book entitled, Looe in Cornwall a photographic tour, is on sale now.
@Rupesh: Thank you so much..!

I love this, the shine on the shell, the wet snail, the curve and the colour

Bet you needed a fast shutter speed to catch the action - nice one.

@Nigel: The super glue soon slowed it down :0
@Veronique: Ah.... but these are very special snails..!
Ronnie 2¢ from Atlantic Shores, United Kingdom
These are, indeed, very odd colors for one of my little friends . . might there be something, er . . shall we say . . psychedelic in your border, sir ?

@Ronnie 2¢: It... must have been in with a packet of seeds, I didn't know what it was... I believe you can smoke it ? :0

Its shell is so delightful. We just have huge, ugly slugs here.
