    Now I want to spend a day drawing snails :D they do make great temporary pets.
    I like the Calef Brown poem where they are everywhere, it is the perfect illustration of my brother in laws first day as a sou chef.

    So many beautiful snails. They are so cute, aren't they. I had one catch a ride on my bike and found it slithering along my carpet when I brought my bike in. I hadn't the heart to kill it so it's now in the garden outside. I love the colorful one by Twoems! Great post, Laura!

    Agnes and Hazel, yes, Calef Brown's creations are delightful.

    Shelley, once again we are working in mysterious unison.

    Wool-bulb thank you for the link, amazing book!

    Topipittori and Melissa, it's definitely time for snails in my garden!
