At a snail's pace

Don't know if this is the edible kind but it sure looks yummy to me.

Jerry how edible anything is, depends strictly on how hungry one is. Good clean sharp shot.

Thanks Janos. I went on the other side of my fence and turned over a board looking for something to shoot. I wasn't worried about him/her getting away while I went back inside to get the camera.

I don't think I could ever be that hungry. Nice colors

Oooooooooo escargot on the hoof (so to speak ) Great shot!

Brave - or extremely hungry - was the first person that spied one of those fellas and said "I think I should eat that"

Regardless, a wonderfully crisp photo. You can feel his slimy body just looking at it....

Thanks Clark, Gary and Mario for commenting. A snail is not an exciting subject but I get the itch to shoot SOMETHING and have to scratch. Guess it's like the old gunslinger who had an itchy trigger finger.

Thanks Bill. Yesterday I turned over a gas can that was sitting on the ground and there was a nice spider to photograph. After downloading them I wasn't happy with them as the detail was lacking. Maybe if I wasn't so forgetful and would have put my camera in manual instead of aperture priority that gave me a shutter speed of 1/60 they would have come out nicely. Forgetting some small detail is par for the course for me. And it gets no better.

Nice find Jerry! Not sure if it's the edible type but I do like a good Escargot! Some butter and garlic and mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!
