I was just about to start my usual Sunday morning run at the park near my house when I saw this family* of snails hustling across a footpath:

Snails crossing a footpath

I used to exercise indoors most of the time but my stay in Oxford made me fall in love with running outdoors. The best thing about running outdoors is you never know what you may find. Here in Malaysia, we don’t have changing seasons, unfortunately (fortunately?), but there’s still beauty in the little details that pop out every now and then for people who pay attention.

* Of course, when I say ‘family’, I could be totally wrong. I ain’t a malacologist after all! Perhaps the big one is simply a bully trying to steamroll the other snails? If you’re a snail expert then please feel free to leave a comment.
