that water snails were so pretty  LOL _ spent the afternoon laying flat on my stomach in the front yard in front of the fish pond - God knows what the neighbours think this time LOL .. didn't know we had 2 different species either (didn't realise there was so much crap in the water either LOL _ next time, I'll take them out and put them in a small tank)

#2 is my pick Rel........ looks kinda arty and surreal.

You have stumbled onto a subject that needs further refinement for a brilliant series! The colours and shapes are amazing. Clean up the water....get some on sheets of glass....do a series for a magazine and or an exhibtion as they fascinate! Large framed prints would be stunning.

The second last one for me, the star shaped tail (?) has me amazed.

How long can they stay under water for Rel?

.......... a little oil garlic lemon juice, toss lightly, serve....... ........ pre dinner snack

........ oh nice pixs

Thanks
Geoff - the colours in the second one are pretty cool huh? The weird thing is these guys actually move pretty quickly - well for a snail anyway
Matt - I will have to do some more, even if it's only to get some clear shots without all the crap in the water I doubt anyone else would be interested in the shots though - just for me
Mark - I have no idea about water snail biology - I'll ask the snail expert at work tomorrow and find out about them, a name would be good too  LOL
Bernie - really really small snack !!! LOL

Oh they are pretty aren't they! Fantastic images there though Rel.. well worth laying on your stomach for if you ask me.. and never mind your neighbours..mine are still in therapy after I forgot that I lived on a main road and I found myself very early one morning chasing a butterfly on the footpath... wearing only a towel.. lol..

I can't do that - they don't make towels that big !!!!!
