Well, I have seen it all now! I was wandering along the beach and came to a tree that had these weird growths...or so I thought. But upon closer inspection, these lumps were actually snails!
It was fascinating to see, so of course I had to take some pictures :)
Don't forget to click the images for the full screen effects, and you can zoom in on the tree and see the beautiful snail shells for yourself! :) ...
This was the fabled 'Snail Tree'...
A close-up of the little fellas...
These images are my own taken with my Nikon D5300 using my 18 - 300mm Contemporary lens and edited using photoscape software which you can find free online here: (http://www.photoscape.org/ps/main/download.php).

Amazing photos.
thanks bro! :)
As a kid, I remember every spring, taking my grandmother to the airport, so she could go back to Greece. And every fall, another trip, to pick her up.
One of my most hilarious memories: All the cousins, uncles, and aunts, at the Airport to pick her up. We were all waiting....
She passes through the big doors from immigration. Everyone is excited, and happy... and we see her, wheeling her large suitcase. It is damp. And there, on the underside, are dozens and dozens of snails.
She actually smuggled snails back to the US!
These were the days well before TSA and 9/11.
... and customs probably didn't look all too closely at the little old lady in the pill box hat, coming back from vacation.
With her snails...
haha that is hilarious! xD I think I would have loved your Grandma, she sounds like my kind of person ;)
Everyone LOVED Yia Yia!
... or else!
xD
I used to see such seashells only on the grass. In Crimea there are whole fields covered with seashells. An amusing sight.
Wow! I would love to see that! haha
I will make posts about the Crimea, but not now. While I publish Tenerife )
Ah Tenerife! fantastic, I will check it out. I used to live there...about 20 years ago lol I am sure it has changed a lot since then!
your posts are awesome! I would consider using the tag #travelfeed in your posts, I think they would be interested in your work! :)
I would be very interested to know how Tenerife has changed. Write please, when will get acquainted yourself with my posts. I followed your advice and put a tag, thank you. )
Amazing. Just amazing. They actually look like fruit clusters in the wide shot.
Thanks for an incredible look at something new to me.
Thank you @bigtom13 :) They were fascinating! I had to do a double take because I couldn't quite believe what my eyes were seeing haha Glad you enjoyed the pictures :)
How fascinating and unique !
It was the most bizzare thing to see walking along the beach lol
Woo! that is an amazing picture @beautifulbullies! I imagine the time it took them to climb that tree, all to survive the predators!
Dedicated little snails! :D
Woah I LOVE these!!!!
Thanks! :) They were fascinating! :D
I never seen so many snails in a tree! I might have seen one or two but not a whole colony! ;0) Great shots!
Thank you :) I have never seen anything like it! Especially as I am used to only seeing snails back home when it is wet outside. These little fellas were baking themselves in the sun! Bizarre!
Nice. Are they there all the time or just at high tide?
That is an interesting question! One that I don't know the answer to I am afraid lol Perhaps I will go back and find out xD Great excuse for another holiday!
Edit! Wow! Just checked out your blog, your photos are AMAZING!!!! :O
Do we need an excuse for another holiday ;-)
Thanks for the kind words about my photography.
you are most welcome, they truly are fantastic.
