Sluggishly Slow
There's something you just can't rush. This gentle and shy creature gave me cramps. I was on all four waiting for it to grace me a glimpse of its head. Not only was it shy, it was also the size of Ysabelle's - my daughter - pinky's tip. It was testing my patience - something i am hardly in abundance. A movement, a flash and my daughter's constant droppings of petals on it makes it more difficult than it already was. Pedestrians were giving me " the look" but, what can i do?
I maybe slow but sure of my steps. I will get there somehow, time just have to wait.

You did well - a tripod would prevents the cramps.
I agree with Aileni. You did well taking that picture. I can attest to use of a tripod. That's how I took pictures of Weezie jumping through the hoop. I was lying down, propped on my elbows taking those pictures. The tripod allowed me to keep the camera in place while I moved around in between shots.
Sweet little creature, taking its time. I have never seen a snail in the desert where I live. Nice monochrome!
Splendid monochrome. It is really beutiful ms. Eng.
That is a neat shot. Beautiful.
wow! I like the thought of it! Thanks for sharing. Have a blessed sunday!
Your patience certainly paid off. This is a photo to be proud of.
Ok - they look beautiful at pictures, but I sure don`t like them to stay in my garden ;)
i love your quote Eng, and so does your photograph, you are getting better each time with monochrome shots, bringing out really the artist in you.
slow and steady wins the race, lovely mono.
That's a wonderful photo, Eng! Beautiful in monochrome.
Slow and steady :).
Love the picture!
nice one!
Eng, it's been a while since I last saw a snail like that. I remember when I was kid I use to see those snails in the backyard but now it's gone. Thanks for sharing.
love the picture, kinda reminds me i need to slow down and enjoy things instead of rush rush rush, thanks!
Ha ha ha... time just have to wait.
Hahhaha it's worth the wait Eng !!!
Keep snapping - I have captured a snail too few weeks ago - yeah influenced by your monochrome photo blogging !
beautiful monochrome Engtot! :) and the quotes fit to it,
We all travel at our own pace. I am glad you had the patience to get this shot.
great mono shot as usual Eng, i took a break this week. ;)
btw, did you received my email?
take care and keep warm. :)
What a lovely little snail, he is adorable even in monochrome. Great shot Eng, well done.
Patience is a virtue that not a lot of people are blessed with. I wish my mom made it my Middle Name so that I would not have problems with the waiting game. LOL. Nice photo. Keep it up.
What a beautiful and exciting shot. You did a great job on this eng.
Reminds me of my pet when I was 8 years old! A white snail named "Peter" :)
I loved him terribly and kept him in a plastic basin filled halfways with water and sand and there was a little rock island in the middle of the water and sand, where Peter could retreat to! :)
I swear he used to look up at me with his long little eyes popping out, looking up at me! Is swear, he loved me too!
I am still saddened by his sudden death (death by huge chunk of frozen meat accidentally falling on top of him)... whoever knew you could really love a snail so much like that! :)
I had fun watching slow snails crawl in the garden before, just fascinating =)
Very sweet! I wonder how Aussies named Postal Mail as Snail Pace.
Oooppsss, I thought patience is a virtue? :)
