Just how mega cute are these little snails. I love how the eyes are on them. I am a big fan of snails and love to see the different patterns on each of them too.
I'd like to pay tribute to Bob Newhart who passed away yesterday at the grand old age of 94. He was a very, very funny man and I think his humour is timeless. I was first introduced to his Sir Walter Raleigh sketch in the mid 90s when I was a teenager and still find his stuff to this day. RIP Bob and thanks for all the laughs.
My favourite is the black one 🐌
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend ☀️
The black one is cute. Thanks Giorgio :-D
DeletePretty cool, I've never seen their eyes before. Great close-up! Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteTheir eyes are really cool! Thanks Bill :-D
DeleteNice macro shots!
ReplyDeleteThanks :-D
DeleteI also really like snails and especially these macros you took, in the last one you had to lie down...
ReplyDeleteGreat
Snails are wonderful, they really are. Glad you like them Fernando. Haha yes, I am often down on the ground taking photos! :-D
DeleteMe he encontradp, con alguno, entre la tierra de mis macetas. No me explico, como ha llegado hasta ellas.
ReplyDeleteFeliz fin de semana.
They are often in the garden :-D
Delete...I like them, but not on my hosta plants!
ReplyDeleteThey get about Tom! :-D
DeleteIt’s really interesting to get to know the details of their lifestyle and their role in the food chain. I hope you will do this, Ananka - but then again you are perhaps already very familiar with it. Maybe you have even eaten escargots.
ReplyDeleteOh no David, I am a veggie and don't eat them! I am always learning new things about them and other creatures. Everything in nature has a purpose and is important! Thanks :-D
DeleteHave you always been vegetarian or have you come to it as a lifestyle choice later in life? We tend more and more towards vegetarianism, but I doubt that we will ever relinquish meat completely. We have cut out red meat, however. Yesterday, other than for shrimp with our stir fry we had a vegetarian day. We have Meatless Monday and there are always leftover for Tuesday, so those two days are invariably a hundred percent vegetarian.
DeleteSince 2013, so 11 years now. I think it is good to eat less meat. My daughter is 5 years old and I am letting her decide. She still eats meat and I am trying to educate her where it comes from. I am dairy intolerant too, but doubt I could be fully vegan as I take honey and eggs. I don't miss meat at all and don't crave it!
DeleteGrandes macros Ananka. Me encantan.
ReplyDeleteBuen fin de semana.
Un abrazo.
Thanks Laura :-D
DeleteAre these "eyes" tentacles?
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteAs Tom says snails do seem to like Hosta's!
ReplyDeleteNice close-ups though.
All the best Jan

ReplyDeleteThanks Christine. Yes RIP Bob :-D
DeleteI walk in the rain, collect snails from the sidewalk and place them on the lawn so that no one will trample them. Beautiful photos, best regards!
ReplyDeleteI do the same, saving them! Thanks JoAnna :-D
