Snail Trail

The morning started as a wet one with quite heavy rain.  This snail was finding its way down the kitchen window in search of shelter it seemed.  It was quite a small snail, probably about 2 cm long head to tail, and quickly withdrew its eye tentacle if bombed by a rain drop!

I grabbed macro lens and tripod and attempted to get a decent image of the underneath of the snail through the window.  I was surprised at how fast it was moving and getting the right bit in focus was not as easy as one would think. Perhaps having such a wet surface made movement much easier for this particular gastropod.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
