The Return of the Snail

Way back when I first got my digital SLR, I took a bunch of pictures of a snail. Now that I have a macro lens, I wanted to go back and get more detail shots of the things I liked from that first set. So I abducted another snail from the front doorstep....

 
The textures of a snail's skin are incredible to me. Such a strange combination of delicate and rough....
 
The details on the shell that the macro lens revealed were interesting. Amazing how intricate something so tiny can be.
 
Never really looked at the underside of one of these things until now.
 
More crazy shell design surprises
 
If a snail could scream, this is how it's eyes would look while doing it.
 
Here's it's tail. My wife said it looks like sushi.
 
It was charging at me full-speed in this one. Very scary.

Thanks. It took forever to get that one just right, and I was thrilled when it finally worked.
