A beautiful grouping of snail shells.

Gold Snailshell Bead.

Well, there's a bridge and there's a river

That I still must cross

As I'm going on my journey

Oh, I might be lost

And there's a road I have to follow

A place I have to go

But no one told me just how to get there

But when I get there I'll know

'cause I'm taking it...

Step by step

Bit by bit

Stone by stone

Brick by brick

Step by step

Day by day

Mile by mile

Go your own way

And this old road is rough and ruin

So many dangers along the way

So many burdens might fall upon me

So many troubles I have to face

But I won't let my spirit fail me

But I won't let my spirit go

Until I get to my destination

I'm gonna take it slow

Because I'm taking it..

I loved this when I stumbled upon it while exploring an old abandoned house. Sometimes nature gives us perfect pictures.

on my walks yesterday i picked up one beautiful snailshell. it lay on the middle of wide asphalt road and absolutely dead, half dry inside. no life signs. but so beautiful!! so i took it home and put it on a shelf. today i thought to take couple of photos of it - and it literally became alive under my camera lens!! like a miracle!! it hadn't budged the whole night and day on my shelf. so i shot my photos and then took it onto the balcony into a big pot of sunflower thicket and colourful-nettle-thingies. i hope he likes it there :) mr.Buddy Swirl.

This is the first photo in a series of 4. When I found this shell I thought it was an empty shell.I was wrong.

I don't know how long this snail shell had been around, but it must have been a few seasons at least. It's not nearly as washed out as I would have expected.

Sunday, May 15, I decided to try using only the camera in my phone for photo opportunities in Balboa Park.

I'm really pleased with how well it recorded this snail shell and bougainvillea flowers.
