Description

Captured early this morning, 4/12/10, within walking distance of my recalcitrant roost. Check it out full size for better detail. No Sweet Gum Tree seedpod this, but a real live gastropod, taking a leisurely stroll across the sidewalk. It was too much to pass up, especially with its ample shadow. Auf wiedersehen, thankx for the look-see, and for any all complimentary comments and favs.

Wow, the shadow looks like a butterfly; wonder if the snail is dreaming? Nicely seen and captured!

Great collage Harry! I did ZOOM and have to ask, if those are eye balls, on the ends of those long antennae? Dana

I love snails in a restaurant that knows how to prepare them...but then I think about slugs and wonder why I think so much more of snails:) Well seen and captured:)
