Snail Hunting ensues as the spring rains fall in the Netherlands.  The snails are back and so is SHI!  Here are some pics that I took over the last two weeks.
 
 
Spotted the first snail of the season today as I walked home from school.  Up until a week ago we had snow on the ground and frozen lakes and canals here in the Netherlands.  Some of the lakes still have a little ice on them.  So I was quite surprised to see this little guy just resting there on the sidewalk.  Temperatures were in the 50's (F) this afternoon. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me and I don't have a bluetooth device for my cell phone so here's a picture of my cell phone instead. As the snails become more active so shall SHI after our winter break.
 
 
 
 
Stretch! Deft snails seemingly defy physics to get their morning breakfast...

Snail spies a slug!  I didn't even see the slug when I took the pic! Can you find it?
