The Parting Shot for July 3, 2012 8

.
At a snail’s pace….

Photo I took not more than 20 minutes ago of a snail outside on the hose in the flower garden. Do click on the image TWICE (not fast, not a double-click – once to enlarge and another to increase to full size). You can really see it up close. At the end of each antennae is a black dot… those are the snail’s eyes! Pretty cool! And yes, that is my dog’s white fur all over it. They love to share!

The Parting Shot for June 23, 2012 11

On June 18th, I featured a “G’morning Shot” of a snail taking a drink of water. I have stumbled across some more of this same photographer’s work and find this one even more magical than the previous one I posted. You really need to see this in full size to truly appreciate the photography of this artist.
