Snails

[mothwing]

They are everywhere!!

I have never seen so many of them at once, it's amazing. And they are so pretty! We've spent twenty minutes ogling at the snails yesterday. What are they called, anyway? My dictionary says "edible snails". Ewww. I refuse to believe that, although I've seen them at Morrison's. Hm. "Large Garden Snails"?

I had almost forgotten how pretty they are.

I've liked snails ever since I was a little kid. Especially back then I spent quite some time watching them in the garden. They are beautiful indeed. :)

But only those with a housing. The other black ones without one, eww... *g*

Thanks for sharing the pics. Where have you taken them, btw?

Where? The ones taken at night were taken in a road paralel to the cycle path along the Clyde, opposite the Exhibition centre, the other ones in a street round the corner from where we live. It's on the way back from Sainsbury's, right in front of the playground. Eh.

I used to love snails when I was a child, too, and strangely, my mother was always opposed to me keeping them as pets. Weird...

Well, may I admit that I did keep some as pets back when I was little!? :D

Only for some days of course, in order not to harm and just to observe them... I so loved them. :)

Well, my parent's attitude really quenched my desire to keep them. When I brought home some garden snails for the first time it did not take five minutes until my mother had bustled up with a highly illuminating tome with highly illuminating charts and pictures and lots of highly illuminating cross sections of snails.
