Banded Snail (+PiPs)

Oh lieber Keith,dann hast du heute schon schwer schuften müssen,um diese hübsche Schnecke zu entdecken,sie hat aber auch ein sehr schönes Häuschen,das sie mit sich rumschleppt,super hast du diese Strukturen in diesen Häuschen festgehalten,das ist immer schön,dass du deine Motive dann gleich wieder in die Natur gibst,aber sie wird es dir danken und wieder mal vorbei kommen,tolle Aufnahmen hast du von deiner Entdeckung gemacht :))

Wünsche noch ein schönes Wochenende,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thank you so much for your kind comments Güni............I'm really pleased you like this little snail and his mobile home :-))

Very much appreciated. Enjoy the rest of your day :-))

My friend, you make the ordinary things about us quite special. I know nobody else who could make a snail look so attractive. Very well done.

Fast ! snails are not known for their super speeds :)

Cheers. Herb

die hebben nooit woningnood
mooie kleuren Prachtig Keith

That's a good point Fred :-)). Glad you like the photos and many thanks.

Für die Gartenbesitzer bei uns derzeit ein rotes Tuch ;-)) Dennoch eine sehr schöne Serie dieser Schnecke. Sehr ausdruckvoll in der Zeichnung. Anerkennung für die blitzschnelle Reaktion, weitere Bilder anzufertigen ;-)))

I don't mind the odd snail in the garden...........it's slugs that do the most damage.

I'm glad you like this series of "action" shot Mikus..........and thanks for your kind comments!

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Beautifully captured, Keith !

Thank you kind sir!

An excellent macro.

Many thanks John..........glad you like it.

Ist das die Schnecke, die Dich schon so lange verfolgt ... ? ;-)

Ha, ha...........yes, I couldn't out run it :-)))

It is a little beauty. Was it a racing snail?

Glad you like it Diana.............yes, but a very slow one :-)))

Trés joli en effet. Il peut venir passer ses vacances en France sans soucis. Nous ne consommons pas cette varièté

Glad you like him Jean Paul.

I'm sure he'll be glad to know he can visit France in safety..............unfortunately he'll have to survive the many blackbirds, that currently hunt in my garden :-(

Dieses Jahr haben wir so viele Schnecken im Garten wie noch nie. Es sind hauptsächlich Nacktschnecken, die Blumen und Gemüse wegfressen.
Schnecken mit Gehäuse sind nützlich. Teilweise fressen sie die Gelege der Nacktschnecken.
Schöne Makros! Eine 1/60 reicht ;-)

Glad you like the photos Wilhelm.........even if you're not very keen on the subject matter.

Thanks for your visit and comments sir!

Beautifully photographed Keith.

Many thanks Colin..........glad you like it.

A superb shot Keith, they are beautiful creatures and can move surprisingly quickly when looking through the viewfinder. A lovely collection of shots.
