Snails

I've always wondered how snails can get up a stem and out onto a leave with their slimy bodies and heavy shells. Well today I saw it! I was out watering my vegetables and I saw a huge nasty snail in the plants next to my house. So naturally I grabbed my camera. It was crazy. It started slithering (very slowly) down the stem. Ick... but fascinating at the same time.

Just a little perspective of how high it was off the ground.And as I was taking pictures, I saw another one lurking in the background.

Pretty crazy stuff.

Have I mentioned... I really don't like snails!

Ew! I hate snails too - our house had them really bad when we first moved in and they've disappeared over the last few years. Those are still really cool pictures though - even if they are a little gross. ;)

(p.s. My neighbor told me to get rid of snails you put a bowl with beer in it in your garden! The snails like to drink it, get drunk and drown! I haven't tried it because it sounded wierd, but she swears by it! Ha ha)
