Joan Elizabeth, some of them have a little bit more colour but most of them look like these ones, yes. We also have lots of edible snails - they are quite huge.
Duh - around 400km to The Hague, Netherlands, would be the nearest shore.
CiB, yes I did - what else to do when you have the urge to take photos and it has been raining all day on a Sunday ... :-) ... horrible weather around here right now.
Martina - this is a wonderful photo - I like the texture of the ground in the snail's path. It's almost as if it's tearing up the ground. You use color so sparingly but so effectively. I love the next couple quotes that you have coming up.
paulboo, lol - since I wrote this I am constantly thinking about taking photos of slugs ... wouldn't post them though - my mother would never come back to my blog ...
These snails are such fun and the colour pics of them are quite wonderful ... they are very pale in comparison to the snails I find around her.
ReplyDeleteHow far from the beach do you live? For me it is only a couple of hours drive away.
Of course, it's easy when we have an armor (in colours!).
ReplyDeleteBeijo
It looks like you had a lot of fun with the snails.

ReplyDeleteI like the connection of colours and contrast. Great photo!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend (and also week after of course ;)!
They are rather pretty snails aren't they, hard to resist as a subject, glad you didn't resist.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dominik - you, too. Hopefully you have some more spring than we have.
ReplyDeleteme, yes, it's cool, isn't it - like a road construction machine ... zrrrrrrrrm. Thank you.
paulboo, yes, but I must say I definitely resist the big brown ones without houses - slugs? Not with a macro lens. NO. ;-)
Slugs are pretty disgusting looking creatures YUK!

ReplyDeleteaw, that's so cute! their shells are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteER, I have seen some with more colours the last days - perhaps I will make another snail series. A more colourful one.
