High contrast camoflage shot of a land snail sheltered on the shady side of a palm tree, waiting for sunset to reamerge and forrage.

Ja Sie! Was machen Sie da auf meiner Erdbeere?

A broken snail shell; probably eaten by a bird, hope it was tasty without some garlic butter.

Better viewed large.

Thank you for your favourites. :O)

Looking close on Friday theme: Progression in Size

A hermit crab with an adopted snail shell walking across the grain of old wood; bleached from exposure to sun and salt water for extended time. The wood was a large tree that had fallen on the western shore of Phuket on the Andaman sea shore. It was there for years stuck between large rocks that prevented it floating away in the storms.

Somehow August has escaped into the wild, and this is being uploaded as September arrives ;o)

The month has gone haywire with the weather, matching small heatwaves with some winter temperatures - and a few weeks of drought with following floods. And that chaotic theme has been reflected in my own August .. planning things only to have them fall apart, both holiday plans and photographic plans. Oddly, amid the chaos I managed to post some 27+ shots - giving me a challenge to squeeze them all into the collage format I use ;o)

Thanks to everyone who has visited my photostream and for the comments and faves. I hope the collage gives a pleasing way to look back at August, as well as its more mundane function of acting as a kind of book-end to divide up my photostream ;o)

The small world is full of enticement

Found plenty of snail shells but no snails.

Many thanks to Johnna LaFaith for the texture!

This weeks challenge was "shoot something, anything while looking down your nose at it . . . in other words, it's about perspective. Pick a subject then rise above it for your shot"

Yesterday I tried to post a photo of this figurine but Flickr viewed it as inappropriate, so here I am again hoping this time it will work. I've taken it from another angle that doesn't show the figurine's body. It's of Lady Justice and I don't think most of the Lawyers in this country would consider this figurine to be lude. The photo below is the one that was deemed restricted. Personally I think she's lovely!
