Cirque du Snail
The highly skilled balancing act of the star performer!
Something rather over-the-top for Macro Mondays theme 'Redux 2018' and Smile on Saturday theme 'Wish Upon a Star'. This was my first idea for the MM theme 'Balance' just a few weeks ago, but decided on something else.
No snails were harmed in the process of making this photograph. As usual, the set up and lighting were first done, then the snail added to keep shooting time to a minimum. This is one of several small juvenile snails that are overwintering in the safety and relative warmth of my conservatory. Although they are less active at this time of year, they can usually be convinced to perform when enticed by lettuce.
