Anyway, the little fella was climbing up a dead leaf on the lawn. It stretched its body long, out of its shell, and put its front end at the end of the leaf, anchored the front, released the back, and then retracted itself, drawing its whole body substantially forward. It was rather like how an inchworm moves.

As well as for doing this for rough terrain, I can imagine that a snail would do this on dry dusty terrain to minimise the amount of slime it must produce. That would account for the trail in Lamplighter's photo.

Or it's a nightclub snail tripping on speed.

Oh yes, of course. It all makes perfect sense now.

It's midnight. The moon invited Jupiter over for company inside a lunar halo.

Love the snow.
Not sure about the de-commissioned guillotine in the garden though.
