day two-hundred-and-seventy-nine - partula snail

you would not believe how many snails i kill a year. i pretty much step from snail to snail, never touching ground.

this is an accident of course, but it is an uncanny skill (or curse perhaps).

now these guys are tiny, which either means i am likely to kill heaps of them or none - depending on if they are so small that they fit in the grooves of my soles (/soul).

now that is terrible, so let's just forget about it and hope i drew something good for tomorrow (i did).

p.s. i should probably point out that partula is a genus of snail, and not one specific species. also they are not actually pink and gold, i just wanted them that way...
