The Scent of a Snowdrop
The appearance of snowdrops is an lovely indication that Spring is on the way - and Brian can hardly wait!
For Macro Mondays theme 'Dangle'. It only occurred to me after getting Brian to dangle by his tail from the snowdrop stem, that the snowdrop flower itself is also dangling! I had thought at first that it would be nice if Brian would hang straight down with his eye stalks outstretched, almost imitating the shape of the flower, but he had his own ideas and was much more interested in stretching his body towards the snowdrop. I know I can't detect any scent from a snowdrop, but snails have very sensitive olfactory cells in their antennae, so Brian may actually be enjoying the flower's perfume.
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
