A Graceful Guest

I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.

Frank Lloyd Wright

Following a morning rain, a small land snail rests atop the granite bench, which is also my father’s headstone.

    Thanks, Grace. You wouldn’t believe how many shots I took of this. Our camera is clogged with unusable photos. Argh.

  Amazing and tender and wonderful image and meaning. When I left my comment about the shot at your facebook page I did not realize exactly where the snail was resting.

  (come see a bit more about Cosmo’s moon over at my blog if you have a spare moment…)

    Awww, thanks, Lydia. Yes, this little guy was there the few times I visited, so I’m not sure if anybody *was home* or not. But it was beautiful…in a beautiful place.

    I enjoyed the Cosmo post…thanks! “Lazlo”…heh.

  Happy day Holly!

    Thanks, Shinade. I love macros, too…although most don’t come out, every now and then there’s a winner. Hope you get your lens soon…your pics are great, and you’d have a good time with it. :o)
