Baby Snail

I thought it was a leaf when I walked past this baby snail the first time. 

Usually the snails on our sidewalk are huge, hard-shelled old things. 

This little guy was moving faster than most snails and kept my attention.

It wasn't very interested in my penny. 

So I kept moving it back into its path. 

 It must have decided the world is full of pennies,
so it might as well slime over this one. 

Soon after I took this picture he pulled into his shell.
