This is a snail on Highway 70 in Louisiana just north of Morgan City. I suppose I must have been taking a picture of something else when this caught my eye, but I don't remember what.
Today's photo would have been a picture of a meteor, but I didn't get one this weekend. I put out my camera Saturday night, during the peak of the Pleiades meteor shower, and set it to take a picture every 20 seconds. I collected about 400 frames over the course of a couple of hours, but not a single one had a meteor streak.

Also got the Andromeda Galaxy in another, which I had no idea of until Anne and I were looking at the photos.
Welcome to the "slow lane."
I don’t usually think of “snail” and “streak” so close together
I associate streaks with the trails of garden slugs, so close..
You're lucky it didn't get away while you were composing the shot.
Hey, I have those in my yard. No more slugs. Only snails and they are escargot size.
I did go out to watch the meteorite shower and it was pretty good considering how difficult it is to find a dark spot around here.
