These glimpses into a magical little world come to us from the camera of talented photographer Vyacheslav Mishchenko, residing in the Ukraine. Mischenko has an eye out for a creature most of us never look at twice - the snail.
Mishchenko takes photos of his tiny models in their natural environments. Sometimes he adds a few natural objects such as fruit, and patiently waits for the snails to react to it. His photos are always taken at a picture perfect time, showing snails enchanted by drops of water or stretching toward each other across distances. In this, he has created extraordinary beauty for a very unlikely subject matter.
You can see more of his wonderful photos on his website or on his Facebook page.
