Love on the edge

by Pumpkin on September 19, 2008

On the way back from taking the girls to the bus stop, my son and I discovered two lovely snails.

It was like they were having a secret conversation about whether or not to go on together. Their love was on the edge.  In the end, they decided to continue with the affair.

It was so romantic!

…and then you ate them!

Well, that’s what they’d do here :-)

Oh my lord…I am in love with these photos! How funny…and how lucky of you to capture the moment :)

How cool! Now I keep wondering, how do you get these angled shots? Holding the camera down low on the ground?

Too cute.

Lovely snails. How clever and imaginative you are!

Ahhh, young snails in love. How Romeo and Juliet of them. “Should we jump?” “No honey, we’re glued to this wall, we can’t jump.” “Oh. I love it when you’re logical. Kiss me!”

The photos are so beautiful. I am so believing these snails are in love and not just escargots mindlessly looking for a steaming saute pan with butter and garlic. ;-)

Gigi,
I have never eaten a snail and I don’t think I could bring myself to do it!

Caffienated Cowgirl,
It was too cute how the snails were. I was lucky I had my camera.

Expatraveler,
I put the camera on the ground so there is no chance it will move and then I push the button. Some of the shots above are kinda blury because I had to hold the camera with my arm laid across a ledge. I was a little worried someone who knows me seeing me taking a photo of snails since it was on a busy road so I was trying to hurry too.

Susie,
Thank you. That is sweet to say.

Evolving,
I love your snail conversation better than mine! :)

La Belette Rouge,
I think they were looking for something to munch on rather than someone to munch on them…that I am sure of. ;)
