Escargots en Champagne

Baby Brian and his companion had better be careful or they will be the next course on the menu - best not to get too tipsy!

 

For Macro Mondays theme 'Celebration'.

 

Champagne is often a spirit for celebration. This image shows a bottle of 'Moët et Chandon Grand Vintage 2006' that was enjoyed for our 25th Wedding Anniversary.

 

The bottle was set up with the lighting and hanging droplet, and I went to find Baby Brian. To my great surprise, I found him 'associated' with another snail! I carefully picked the two of them up together and placed them on the top of the bottle, keeping the photoshoot as short as possible to avoid disturbing them unduly. I do wonder what they were getting up to - perhaps they were merely playing, or perhaps Baby Brian is no longer a baby...
