Time is wonderful!

Thank you, I'm so glad it appeals to you.

Nice photos! I especially like open and within!!

Thanks - Open was one of the first pictures I took for the challenge, Within took me a lot longer to decide on and, like Two (the swans in an earlier post) was a bonus one I just happened on while I was searching the local countryside for bulrushes! I love the pattern and colours in the snail shell, his shell was only about half an inch across so he was very delicate.

I've never seen a snail here, just lots of slugs!
By the way, Fluffy is adorable!

I am still catching up with interesting comments, so apologies for this being so late!
I hadn't realised that you would not have snails where you are. As you can probably see, they are a common or garden nuisance here, can cause a lot of damage to gardens - and they crunch horribly underfoot if you accidentally step on one after dark as they often come out after dark and hang around on patios and pathways. As they move very slowly, they can't get out of the way. They like damp places, especially.
The French, of course, eat them (yes, yuck!)with lots of garlic butter, but I think that is one particular sort of snail. Doesn't appeal to me at all!

these are great! i really like open and time :)

You're very kind, thank you! Both taken quite close to home, just about as close as you can get with Open - that is the latch on our side gate.
This challenge does make you look at your surroundings in a fresh way, doesn't it? I;m loving it!

Oooh! I love the open. The cat looks very inviting. I would have to pet her, for sure. And that snail? Wow!

rosie55 October 13 2007, 08:45:25 UTC

Thank you! Fluffy is possibly the most sensuous cat I have ever known and just adores being petted! My daughter fondly calls her a hussy!

I love Within!!

rosie55 October 13 2007, 08:48:13 UTC

Thanks, I'm so glad it worked for you and it seems for others! It is quite exquisite isn't it? - the snail, I mean, of course, not my photography!

whispered_envy October 13 2007, 09:03:02 UTC

I have a weird thing for snails...probably becuase I used to play with them when I was a kid...and your photography is great!!

rosie55 October 13 2007, 09:08:51 UTC

I have to confess that snails are not generally a favourite thing of mine but this one just caught my eye!
And thank you for the kind comment, I generally just point and shoot but this challenge is making me think about composition and subject and I am getting a lot out of that. And very much enjoying seeing all the others, too.
