The acrobat

Most snails inch their way along the stems of flowers

Planting their whole body onto the leaves

Following the trail of those who have gone before.

But – every now and then – one snail stands out.

You can find her doing cartwheels

Or hanging upside down.

She stands out in a crowd. The adventurer. The daring one.

Have you ever noticed how some people are just like snails?

  1. I’m not a big fan of the vintage feeling but it works well when the image is not sharp enough or when I want some subtlety. I loved the first pic because of the big red shell in the middle. Rishi

    Love your snail and I always admire their persistence.
