Seem to be running into a lot of snails out in the world.
I'm sure if I was some sort of prescient I'd fondle some meaning out of the coincidence, but mostly it's just curiouser and curiouser.
I love spirals. I also love snail shells. Took a walk by the pond, and selected a few pretty and empty shells. So tiny! This one is 13mm. Extension tube stack (68mm) added on top of my already awesome 100mm macro lens.
The snails died about half a year ago, but their shells still stick to the limb...
Die Schnecken sind wohl vor etwa einem halben Jahr gestorben, aber ihre Häuser kleben immer noch an dem Ast...

Made a new snail shell diaper, this time using minkee as the outer fabric - it has more body than the thin knit I used last time and works much better.
This is from the HHS pattern, size, medium. I like that the minkee outer doesn't creep into the thigh cream with the shell, help ensuring no wicking/leaks.

7 November 2011: On my way to last night's lesson. A reminder from the little animal who carries its home with him wherever he goes, so fitting during this time of great transition in our lives.
My apologies to all of you for my prolonged absence. My online work and the vast amount of online paperwork involved in this move mean that my free time lately is spent anywhere but before a computer.
I value all of your thoughts, comments, emails, and faves ... even more now when you give them knowing full well it may be a while before I can reciprocate. If you are among those who know this and yet continue to encourage me, I thank you. Thank you.
Photo workshop today. Macro was the subject. I didn't had time to photograph my self so I did that at home. Natural light with bounced flash for fill.

I've been having some frustrations in getting my concepts for various 365 Projects to work out the way I see them in my head. In the meantime, I though I'd post an older picture, that I love to pieces.
The subject of the photo, a small, empty snail shell, was stuck to this abalone shell that I have in my garden with a fresh rain drop acting as the glue.
Taken with a +4 Macro lens.

About 1/4" in diameter.The front and back are so different -- a prominent spiral on the front but none on the back -- that I could think these pictures are not of the same snail (but they are). No doubt if I were more familiar with snails this wouldn't have surprised me.
In the view from the back (of the snail's underside, seen through the glass) on the right you can see what I'm guessing is the outline of the snail's foot firmly holding onto the glass (of one of our storm doors). See the note that I've added to the right hand picture.
When I came in through this door, saw the snail, opened the storm door that it's suspended on, and saw the snail's other side, I was reminded of this short, simple poem by Ryokan:
Maple leaf
Falling down
Showing front
Showing back

Reasonably rare in Britain, this giant snail is apparently edible. It is called a 'Roman snail' as it was brought into this country by the Romans for consumption. It is a protected species so I can't tell you what it tastes like! Photographed in my garden in Stapleford, Hertfordshire, England.

Heute mussten die Danbos einfach raus gehen. Endlich ein sonniger Tag. Darauf hatten sie schon viel zu lange gewartet. Mini war sehr beeindruckt, ihr wisst, er war noch nicht so oft draußen, seit er in Deutschland ankam. Seht nur wie er auf das Schneckenhaus schaut. :)
Today the Danbos had to go outside. Finally a day with sunshine. They were waiting for such a day way too long. Mini was so impressed, you know he wasn't outside very often since he arrived in Germany. See how he looks at the snail shell. :)
Now I've got They Might Be Giants' "Snail Shell" stuck in my head.
I had two goals for today:
1. Eat some ramen
2. Shoot a roll of film with my dumbest film SLR.
I accomplished only one of these goals. Because it was Memorial Day, or because it was Monday, all of the ramen places I tried to go to were closed. It was pretty disappointing, but I did get some nice salmon teriyaki instead.
I did put a roll of film through my EOS 850, though. This is a super weird Canon SLR that has ZERO manual controls. Nothing. No control dials at all. It's basically a point & shoot with interchangeable lenses. I'd bought it a while back but never actually used it.
