  Just think of how much of his life you could have saved him by flicking him to the bottom, Val. He could have taken the rest of the day off.

What a wonderfully composed portrait. The triangles of contrasting colors, which also have outstanding detail, are the perfect bacdrop for this speedy rambler.

Imagine what a tsetse fly or house fly would say about OUR speed.

  Gee, Marty, I never thought of doing that...but then, he wouldn't have had all those tasty snail morsels (what DO snails eat, anyhow??) to snack on during his way down! :) I'll assume he was out for a very leisurely breakfast to assuage my guilt! :) (Love the tsetse fly comparative...only you, my friend!) :)

Thanks all for stopping by and leaving your comments on this little racing machine...as always, much appreciated! ~Val

  What a cute little snail. Our snails are boring brown over here but cute nevertheless. Gorgeous colours here Valarie. At least with snails they are not moving all over the place and you have plenty of time to get a few good shots in.

  Hey! He looks like he is making pretty good time to ME, Val! Look at all the slobbers he got on your beautiful flowers!?!

Actually those slobbers and trails are what really add wonderful interest to this already beautiful image! You know...I kind of MISS snails where I live now. We only have SLUGS.

OH LET'S FACE IT. THEY ARE ALL PESTS! BUT...with shells they are beautiful to shoot! GREAT JOB!
