Don't Hurry, Be Happy!

Can snails smile? This tiny juvenile snail certainly looks like it could have a cute little smile on its face as it swings from the stamen of a white rhododendron flower.

 

For Macro Mondays theme 'Backlit'.

 

For Smile on Saturday theme 'Meet Cute'.

 

A single flower from my white rhododendron was brought into my conservatory out of the strong breeze, and positioned where it could be backlit by morning sunshine coming through the window. The backlight shows off the translucence of the tiny snail's body and shell.

 

No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
