While pottering around in my garden this morning before it got too cold out there, I found a nest of these itty bitty teeny tiny little baby garden snails! They were all lined up along the leaves of one of my daffodils (which are coming up all over the place all of a sudden! It's MIDWINTER, for cryin' out loud!). Now normally any snail I find usually finds itself offered as sacrificial victim on the birdfeeder. These guys wreck utter havoc on my garden. Well I couldn't put BABIES up there now, could I! So, I took them inside, took some happy snaps and then yeah I know this is lame, but I let them go again. I know, I know. I have kept 6 so I can play a bit more with photography. Currently they are in a jar on the kicthen bench with some yummy yummy leaves to gnaw on. Hope you guys like the pics. Macro and I are FRIENDS!

Looks like every freeway in the world, really, doesn't it? :-)

This little guy is a free-thinker, rebel without a cause!

reach for the horizon, little fella!

I love their colouring, makes it a pleasure to such shoot them in natural light only

If you kids don't stop fighting back there I swear to god....

I loooove this one. Not PS'ed barr cropping, I swear on my life!

That's it, I'm outta here....Pacifist snail prefer to slide away from confrontation

Oh my god he is soooooooo damn cute! Only MAYBE a cm long. Tiny!!!!!

Sam and Sugar knew their love was forbidden, they could steal a little private timeonly when everyone else was too busy to notice their absence

Don't ask how I got it this clear, I don't know :-) Macro and I are just good friends :-D

Wow look! HE'S REARING! WOOOOOOO! Go you mad crazy psycho snail!!!!!

I really like that photo you said you like also.

I really really do.

the one with the light coming through the leaf? Yeah, I love that one. I've caught a few shots like in my time, always looks so beautiful.

I did this, I hope you don't mind.

This was my favorite one.

oooooooooooooh, that's beautiful! Of course I don't mind :-) I was wondering how to change the background, I'm still working with PS to sort out stuff like that. That's really good!

Nyawwwww. Maggie, you make slimy little snails look cute.
Also, gotta talk to you/come see Dan and Des soon girl. I hope you're feeling a little better today. It's definitely two dog weather, so I hope yours are being very huggy.

That's because they ARE cute!!!!
Well, just say the day. I start night shifts Saturday night but I am available during the day then. Otherwise next week I can be around Wednesday all the way through to Monday I believe (without checking diary because it's all the way over there --------->)

lol, love that you used them as action figures... the captions are great! They are cute, that's for sure. The last time I remember something that slimy was seeing hordes of slugs in British Columbia when I was a kid... eww... don't wanna step on them! Splat!

SLUGS?!?!?!!? OMG, SLUGS!!!!!! That is the only animal in the world I am utterly TERRORFIED of!!! I HATE THEM! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGH! Oh god they give me the colly wobbles so bad. *shudders*

lol, colly wobbles! AKA the willy nillies? :p

If you thought they were weird before, wait til you watch THIS!

*is too nervous to click that link....*

You know you want to. Maybe not if you are at work though... it's called "The World's Most Terrifying Penises : The Leopard Slug", lol! It's gross but also hilarious thanks to the witty narration.

Awesome pics mate. Just remind me never to eat directly off your bench ! :p

LOL!!! Thanks :-) Don't worry, I cleaned the bench off very well ;-)
