“We hope the "real" person behind the words will be revealed as ignominiously as a shapeless snail without its shapely shell.” - John Updike
Snail shells from a Devon garden resting on top and inside Brick (coutesy Bob Ballard) on Brandon Steep Wall, Bristol BS1
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.
Old froggy was near the edge of the pond so it gave me the chance to focus tightly on the eye i used torch light and flash to achive the shot
I don't think you can tell from this photo as the sun was very bright, but the colours in the shell matched the stones perfectly.
