| Lettuce, you say? |
 |
| I'll have a little taste |
 |
| Rock on, dude! |
This guy has been hanging out around our outside tap near the kitchen door for the past week or so. Today, he was right by the step as the sun was hitting the garden, so I grabbed the camera and a couple of pieces of lettuce leaf to see if he was interested. He was but he moved really strangely - curling backwards into his shell and then tipping over and coming slowly out again.
When I went home for lunch he was dead. I know! I felt awful and wondered if I'd poisoned him with the lettuce. Anyhow, my boss took one look at the photos and said, oh no, that's a really old one; see how his shell has lost all its colour? Relief. Sad, though. And glad that I got to take his pic.
