I went outside to start up the grill for dinner tonight...grilled chicken breast on the barbie, you know. While taking off the plastic weatherproof cover, a certain snail fell off and landed on the ground. I'm guessing he had found a nice little moist spot on the cover to hibernate in or else we have some sneaky snail grill parties going on after hours. Intrigued by the little guy, I ran inside to grab a glass and some water for him to cling to, hoping he'd come out of his shell for a little look/see.
And look/see we did. All three of us.
I'll admit, it almost got awkward at times, all that staring.
The introduction:
Going in for a closer look:
Determining the little guy was quite kissable. And, yes. She kissed it. Note to future self: Karis will probably be the type of girl to kiss on the first date. Oy.
The money shot of Mr. Snail, a.k.a. "cold stare":

Or maybe she will kiss frogs and make lots of princes. Tell her if she ever kisses anything that turns into something that looks like Hugh Jackman, I've got dibs ;)!!!
wow. I am impressed...with the kissing and the money shot of the snail.
I don't think I have ever seen the face of a snail before. WOW!
My son would kiss frogs too. Yuck.
Good pictures.
Do you watch top chef? Cause after this past week's episode I will never look at snails the same. *shudder*

This is hilarioius! Ilove the snail shot. karis is getting SOOOO big. Ian says hi...actually, he said "doggie" b/c of the shot below this post, but I think I'll take "hi". LIESL
Great post! Love Karis's expression in the first shot. Great close-up of the slimy little guy =)
