Another beautiful shell. Very effective composition with the veins of the leaf opposing the lines of the snail shell.

Thank you Vicki. These are one of our commonest snails, and although they can become quite the pest they can have their own beauty.

Great composition, Pete. I feel like the snail is taking a ride on some bizarre Ferris wheel or something.
