Such a Special Day!!! - Snail Migration!!!!!

I have a buddy, let’s call him “Buttercup,” who has time and again and again and again given me a hard time about photographing snail migrations. While Buttercup appears to be jabbing about snail migrations in jest, deep down inside I think he longs to spend quality time with me and the snails and the red-winged blackbirds. Odds are much shared time is a secret goal of his. Maybe, Buttercup, someday you will be with me during the snail migration! (Thanks to my other Brother Darrell who reminded me of the year’s long continuing saga of Buttercup and the infamous snail migration!)

The following photo was, what I presume, the lead snail leading the migration. I looked around and waited, but the others had not moved in my direction yet.

Coinciding with the snail migration is the blooming of summer wildflowers and the appearance of warm-weather bugs. I will share some of my photos from today below.
