This snail had crawled part way up a dried out stem. I love the spiral pattern on their shells. They are actually very attractive creatures!

Beautifully captured natural event with many lovely shades of brown. I wonder if the snail spent the winter in its shell and climbed high enough to avoid the snow?? Just wondering... Voted.

That spiral is perfect with its symmetric asymmetry!

The garden snails come in such a wide variety of colours too. The study of this one is lovely.
