Rain or shine


Yesterday the sun shone through and I took my shadow shot of a flowering cherry across the lawn


Today it rained all day so much so the snails climbed up the window sill across the panes and dive bombed on to my plants below.




I've never seen so many in one spot. Glastonbury eat your heart out!

Happy SSS

  2. I have never seen snails like this. Unbelievable. The shot of the cherry is so sweet with its muted coloration. Lovely capture. Genie

  4. I can already feel the heat Cro.

    Gonna dazzle the neighbours with my white belly soon. What a treat?!

    I'll bet Cro's mouth was watering at the sight of all those snails Molly.

  6. With your post title....I'm thinking of a song with the lyrics 'come rain or come shine'....wow, wish WE could get those rains here!! But, keep the snails.

    It was nice to visit with you today....If you'd care to drop by and say hi, I'm leaving my Sunday's Link for you---HERE

  12. Great picture of the snails, but oh, what they can do to your garden. I hate those little creatures. Even though they have their place in the ecological balance of things, I cringe when I see them in my flowers.

  13. the Open Garden weekend here started drizzly on Sat, became cloudy and humid; then Sunday became hot and hotter, not very nice at all. I kept well in the shade.

    I'm glad it'll be cool again this week.

  14. Ahh, we could use the rain. I love your shadow picture and the snails are so cute inching their way across your window...I bet your plants don't think they are so cute though!

  15. Your snails are hardly big enough to compare with edible snails, that used to be found on the Mendip Hills near Glastonbury, plus it is the wrong time of the year to harvest them :)
    Weather in this part of Ireland warm with just half an hours rain to freshen things up!

    Amy - I couldn't get over all the different colours - they were amazing (but that's me!)
    Heron 'fraid it's the snails that do all the munching here :0)

  18. Thanks Heron - I've just been into the site - looks interesting though I do not fancy actually boiling a snail - I couldn't do that - but the Helix Tosta pills look good!

  19. My daughter was in a film last year where she had to be a little girl who played with large snails and I have some amazing shots of her with these snails on her arm. Ew I say, but i was pleased she didn't mind doing what the director said!!
