Self Help Radio 092424: Spirals


In a kind of a panic about finding pictures for this blog post, I told my wife, "Spirals are found everywhere in nature! Where can we find some to take pictures of?" She gave me this shell from a snail. I took a picture & then defaced it with the Self Help Radio logo. When I asked her what kind of snail it was, she sent me a video of a guy with snails crawling on his face. I'm a little afraid of such things so now I guess I'll never know.

We took a bunch of pictures of spirals in the natural world on a dogwalk (that's where yesterday's sunflower came from) but I liked the snail shell best of all. So it's the image for today's show.

All this done for a blog post about a radio show about spirals. Which you can listen to now or whenever either at the KBOO website or at the Self Help Radio website. If you choose the latter, make sure you know the login is SHR & the password is selfhelp. Everything that happens on the show is listed below.

& now I can't not see spirals everywhere in nature!
