It has been so dry here that the last thing one would expect to find is a snail. Both of these snails are tiny. The first was found on the edge of an outside step.
I like the colours and the patterns of its shell. From a different angle it looks like this.
The next snail is hardly larger than my thumb nail.
This one was on the wall outside our kitchen. I was attracted by its pearly appearance.
Beautiful patterns – tiny as buttons!

They are minute and with it still being so dry here, I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up as a meal for a bird.

I couldn’t resist that one – it was on the wall just above the seed bin.

I’ve never seen a pearly snail. Very pretty. Vulnerable little fellows, aren’t they?

Very vulnerable, especially as we still haven’t had a proper rain. I fear they will be eaten by birds before long.

It is amazing that you have snails. They are interesting beings moving along with their homes on their backs.

We see a greater variety – and larger ones – during wetter weather.

Snails have a remarkable variety of patterns on their shells – ignore the inside if you like, and admire the outside (:
