I am never too tired to stop and take a photo. OC found this fella traveling the sidewalk about 11 p.m. one evening and called me outside. “Bring your camera,” he said, and any protest I might have made about tromping down three flights of stairs when I’d much rather crawl into bed disappated. This is what my camera and I found at the bottom of the stairs:

That is a great picture!
Wonderful color and clarity. Great detail.
Give OC a hug – he made a great find.
Hee hee, love the title!
Nice picture, you have a really good camera for this is wonderful clarity and depth.
It would take the little fellow a long time to tour the world. Though his world is big enough.
A Blessed Sunday is wished for you and OC
Beautiful shell. Great shot. Worth the walk downstairs at 11pm.
I think this is one of your best pictures and a worthy subject.
You really do have an eye, Quilly.
(I know, Amoeba. She has two.)
I love the title! 🙂
You’ve turned into a paparazzi Quill, snapping pictures of a celeb on the way home. 😉
Excellent pic!! What an interesting little fellow!
Only one problem with this “wonderful little fella”. It’s yet another pestiferous species that doesn’t belong in Hawai‘i. It is edible, but we found that out too late.
Amber — thanks!
Carletta — I was rather proud of how well the photos came out since I was shooting by porch light.
Jeanette — that is the plus side to my being overly tired — I am also at my wackiest and most creative.
Bill — OC says the snail can crawl about an inch a minute or about 5 feet per hour.
Cath — that it was.
Dr. John — wow! Thanks.
Doug — actually, according to my school mates, I have four eyes.
Andrew — I am glad you approve.
Brian — your comment is profetic — coming soon to my photo blog (a link can be found in the left hand column) is a photo I took of our Governor.
Brig — he wasn’t much of a taker, though.
OC — next time you find one, you can cook and eat it. I’ll watch.
I was lucky to meet such a fast traveller with his house on his back in spring and took the same picture, only my traveller is more grey, lol !
Love the shell, ours are more pale…!!
Great close-up!
Now THAT is a man who knOws his woman!!! And a lovely slug too… okAy… snail!
Great shot! We have some of your creater’s homeless (no shell) relatives around our house.
okay so your significant other saw
a snail
and immediately thought
you should take a picture.
i’d talk about how strange that is, but i have ABsolutely NO credibility to talk about strangeness with.
so your good to go.
nice snail… 😉
Wow, Quilly this is yet another fantastic photo by you. Funny isn’t it how you would complain about going out … until you hear “bring your camera”, then all complaints and weariness are gone, hahaha.
Have a wonderful week!!
