Rush Hour


Time sometimes flies like a bird
sometimes crawls like a snail
but a man is happiest when he does not even notice 
whether it passes swiftly or slowly. 

(Ivan Turgenev)

Wow! Once I get over being creeped out by having so many around, I see how COOL it looks!!

what a fantastic capture! there's something beautiful about the way they are all composed on the tree... i love the quote too!

well, what Loulou wrote. this is most unusual and that's probably why I like it so much. they cling to the bark of the tree, and then I must question - why? is it food? their shells are a fine example of the beauty that is gifted to us by nature, each and every day if we look and see. you did! happy Friday/Saturday to you Annabella. I must also say that each and every time you visit my blog, I consider it an honor.
