I was in the garden today with the macro lens again.And saw these very small shell's on the path,so i just had to photograph them because they just look so awesome close-up.

I was going to just post the shots of the shell's.So i went back outside to get one to measure it,to give you some idea of the size.After finding one on the wet path,i brought it in(cuz its dark),i noticed there was something inside.

OMG!,WOW i have never ever seen a snail this small in my life.A true'ly awesome sight :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

Here he/she is :D

I did this shot to show you how small it is.Thats a 5 pence coin.

Nice Shots.... I love Macro.
I found these little snails in the back yard. I already posted these, but I thought it was cool that they look like the same type of snail,(now I'm a snail expert :)) with you being in the UK and me in the US
