 Common Tree Snail Good morning all, I was wiped out after another unbelievable busy day at the Aquarium yesterday and just had no energy for blogging. About half way thru the day yesterday I started feeling a whole lot better and this morning it’s like I never had a cold, that was a fast moving virus?? I was up pretty late last night in my little home-made studio shooting more sea urchin pictures. One of my lights died completely and I still can’t figure out a way to hide the hole on the top of the urchins to keep the light from coming thru, oh if we all had such problems right?? The fireworks were pretty much non-stop last night and tonight is the night of all nights, from space it will look like Curacao is being bombed!
Like a good boy here is your weekly snail shot. These are my personal favorites, I love their faces they have these really cool little black eyes. These are also the land snails that we have all around our house and when it rains they come out by the hundreds. Each morning after a rain we go out and pick them up from any of our walking areas (like around the car and porch) and place them back in a safe spot, it kills me to step on them. These land snails are around a half an inch in length and are found in all different colors and I have never found one with a complete spiral on the top of the shell, they are all broke? If your out hiking in the desert around here you can find these snails in almost every bush or tree and the empty shells can be found all over the ground with a hermit crab inside, so nothing goes to waste.
Alright I have to get moving, have a great day and a safe New Years tonight!! I will talk to you all next year, thanks for a great 2009 best wishes, Barry and Aimee
