A Little Snail Action

The snail says "I am slow, but it is to your advantage"

Got this snail while I was doing a photo hunt. Yes it is small, yes it is slow, but the very slight wing blowing just makes it so hard to get a pin sharp focus.

Got a few shots with timed movements of the wind and body sway just to get it right.
