Mobile, Alabama: A Walk in the Afternoon: A Snail

 On an afternoon walk, I saw a snail. 

 It is always a glad thing when I see a snail, and a snail shell, and the snail is in the shell. 

 So many times, you see a houseless snail, and it just looks like a slug

Or you see the shell, but it is empty. 

This afternoon's snail looked up at me for a moment.

I filmed the snail's walk across the sidewalk. It is very peaceful watching the snail do this. 

 


It evokes the same peace as watching jellyfish float down and up and down and up. 




Interestingly, I enjoy a similar calm when watching Girl With the Dogs, a dog groomer's channel. I'm guessing it is an ASMR thing.
