Description


This snail, is what I call: Lionel Richie, :D Yesterday when I worked in the garden, I saw two snails making love with each other. They were startled by my discovery. I saw that one pooped. I did not know what I saw. Many came out. So sad, one of them was frighten by me. Of course I started to photograph. When I saw this picture, I was reminded of the song: "Hello", by Lionel Richie. Hence I call this snail to him. Here, the first stanza of his song. Hello, is it me you're looking for? I've be alone with you inside my mind And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times (grrrrr :)) I sometimes see you past outside my door (:D) Hello, is it me you're looking for? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Seriously: Helix pomatia, common names the Burgundy snail, Roman snail, edible snail or escargot, is a species of large, edible, air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Helicidae. This species is frequently farmed, and is called by the French name escargot when it is used in cooking. De "wijngaardslak" in het Nederlands (Dutch). Have a great Sunday further. And thank you so much for reading, probably commenting; and for your patience too!

OH yes I recognize these snails. We have a whole lot of them in our garden. I dont dare telling the neighbors, that we "planted" them 35 years ago :-) Got them from my grandfathers (on my moms side) garden. We never even dreamed about eating them :) Excellent shot Mies :-)))

Nice capture Mies. I just think about what Lionel Richie would say if he sees that you've named a snail after him :D

So you scared the poop right out of a snail, did you. I've never seen snail poop, not even thought about it, so you made me smile. I don't really believe you are that scarey even if the snail thought you were. And I think Lionel Richie, the snail, is rather pretty.

I do love your snail Jacomina, but I really hate the thought of eating Escargots - no matter how delicious they are, as a delicacy and neither do I like Tripe - YIKES ! Give me Cheese and Eggs instead, anytime ... LOL Take care my friend, BB
