I spent a couple of days thinking about this one. Surely it would just be a landscape picture, as weather is kind of already happening? I could certainly have waited for "interesting" weather, but that didn't really happen this week. I also have my day job and family as my priorities, so getting out to a great landscape was not posssible this week.

As I have said before, The Dogwood Challenge is a CHALLENGE! So, I had to be flexible and see what I could snap on my own doorstep.

So, in the rain (weather), I managed to find a bounty of snails emerging. I put two of them together (apologies to the purists) and let them do their thing. There is a remote flash behind them and to the left, HEAVILY wrapped in clingfilm for water proofing purposes. I got a few hundred shots of these snails. They were very much attracted to each other and always gravitated towards the other. They were very therapeutic to watch, I highly recommend it.

Oh, and their tentacles retracted a lot in the rain, so patience was vital.
