Here's a baby snail sliding across some water on the back of a plate.

You have a great way of seeing the small creatures in our world. Such an amazing little snail. Do snails live alone?

This one did. He was stuck to our back door for the best part of a week prior to his rude awakening by me. He's safely back in his rest spot now.

And thanks for the nice comment.

I'm relieved. I'm sure he was, too.

Another fun creature. Lots of critters where you live.

Too true. Living in The Netherlands, I have to make do with a back garden the size of a postage stamp, but it still fills with all sorts of wildlife. I'll soon make a study of our resident Blue Tits.
