美图瞬间:打着伞躲雨的小蜗牛

They are not known as one of the world's prettiest creatures - but this snail is clearly more image-conscious, posing atop a leaf under a makeshift umbrella.

它们可能不属于世界上最可爱的生物之列，但这只小蜗牛绝对非常上镜，这张照片中它打着临时做成的伞，卧在一片树叶上。

The beautiful images capture the creature below a dew-covered flower, suggesting that it is not as fond of the rain as most snails, who normally flourish in damp conditions.

这几张美丽的照片抓拍下了小蜗牛躲在一朵沾满露珠的花下的情景，我们可以看出这个小家伙并不像其他的蜗牛一样喜欢雨水天气。蜗牛一般在潮湿的环境中繁衍后代。

Amateur photographer Vyacheslav Mischenko, 48, said that the images' colours and setting reminded him of Monet's Woman With a Parasol.

拍下这组图片的是48岁的业余摄影师Vyacheslav Mischenko，他表示组图的颜色和场景让他想起了著名作家莫奈的名画《打阳伞的女人》。

Mr Mischenko, a dental technician, picked up his love for photography from his father, who was also a keen photographer and nature-lover.

Mischenko先生是一位牙科技师，他是在父亲的影响下培养了对摄影的热爱，他的父亲也非常爱好摄影和自然。

He said: 'I spent a lot of my childhood out and about in forests as my family are big wildlife lovers so I'm always on the lookout for unusual animal shots which I can capture.

他表示：“我的童年时代很多时候都是在森林度过的，我的家人都非常热爱野生环境，所以我总能关注到许多不同寻常的动物场景并抓拍下来。”

'I love taking pictures of snails and ants and have taken so many over the years that I could probably write a book.'

“我喜欢拍摄蜗牛和蚂蚁的照片，在过去的这些年里我拍了很多张照片，我可能会出本书。”
