Best Shot Monday



Melody from Slurping Life is hosting Best Shot Monday for a couple of weeks, so I thought I would particpate since I am one of Melody's bestest fans! I'm not so sure this is the greatest picture ever, but it sure speaks to me. To me is screams . . . "There but for the Grace of God go I." What does it say to you? (I saw this snail in our garden and I was trying to get a good picture of him and this one was a complete surprise! Oh the pains an artist goes through for their art . . . )

    You are too cute, Marie. Like vered said, when I see snails in my garden, I do not think of running a getting my camara, even though I do think their shells are pretty. Come visit me and I will have lots of snails you are welcome to photograph all you want.

    Cute picture.... cute photographer!

    I like that you said something about it not being your best shot ever, but it's interesting. It really is. There's so much going on with colors and textures, and I so dig that snail. We didn't have big snails like that growing up (very South Texas), and they just intrigue me.
    Great shot!

    It's a great picture! I love the colors and the texture, and even the itty bit of fuzz.

    I think the snail is saying...."Excuse me, may I have a tasty leaf or two? Maybe even three?" (wiggles his eyes at you)

    Marie, I am tickled that you joined BSM. And LOL imagining you on the ground in all sorts of positions trying to get shots of the snail. :)

    I love it. Actually, its shell is beautiful.
