Snails on the bicycle path. My cheap clip-on macro lens makes a cool fishbowl effect with the spiral ramp, and the spiral of the ramp echoes the spirals of the snails.

A snail facing us on an asphalt path. It has a tan spiral shell with a burgundy stripe, and a taupe body. In the background we see the spiral ramp of the bicycle path that goes up to cross over the highway. The photo is taken with a clip-on macro lens attached to my phone camera so it's a circle with dark around the edges and corners

Two snails, one moving towards us with its four antennas in clear focus. The shorter two antennas are close to the ground, and the long ones reach out to the side. This snail is two-tone brown spiral. Behind it is a yellow snail out of focus, and beyond that, we see the bicycle path spiraling up to the right.

#GoodNews "We only began with less than 200 snails and have now released over 100,000." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/feb/07/bermuda-snail-thought-to-be-extinct-now-thrives-after-a-decades-effort

Imagine: In our crazy world of dangerous politics exist people who work hard for 10 years to save a nearly unknown species of #snails of an Island. Because they care!
