Whales and Snails

Hello everyone!  A very warm welcome to you all!  The video I have selected is a beautiful 4 minute clip whereas sperm whales have adopted a deformed dolphin.  I found it very inspiring.  Enjoy!

The photos I am sharing today are ones that I took last September.  I found snails on some leaves...first time I had ever seen this, so I took the photos.  You just need to click on the images to see a larger view.


Thank you all so much for visiting me here!  I always appreciate and enjoy reading your kind thoughts, which you are always welcome to share.

    J'ai vu ton commentaire sur le blog de Philippe alors je viens te voir.
    A présent j'habite en Rhône/Alpes à 35 kms de Chambéry.
    Bonne journée à toi

  2. Sweet video! I had loads of snails in my garden in Toronto. But I never liked to pull them off. Snails have a place in this world too!

  8. Bonjour Linda, les escargots je les connais bien... au printemps et en été, ils sont nombreux car nous avons souvent de l'humidité et ils aiment cela, merci par tes visites et nos échanges vu la distance, c'est très agréable... big kiss !

  13. Etanat ovat kyllä kauniita, mutta ne tekevät pahaa kun syövät kukkia ja kasvimaalla kasveja:)

  24. Dear Linda - I found your video so sweet - almost makes me want to cry - happy tears of course. As for the snails...how pretty that green one is. I have never seen them on leaves before either. Thanks for sharing as always friend. Have a good week-end and stay warm!

  25. Nature is wonderful, we humans could learn a lot from our fellow creatures on this planet. Even snails have a right to life. I'm concerned at what's happening with elephants and rhinos in Africa, it's time the Chinese took drastic measures. Rant over sorry ! Have a nice day.
