Snail

About a month ago a colleague from Fedora showed me a photo of a snail, where I liked the colors but not so much the composition and framing, so I had to wait a few weeks for a "decisive moment", allowing to show my own vision of a snail photo. And it came this sunny morning, after a night with heavy rain, the perfect opportunity for the snails to take a little walk:

Update: the high resolution of the photo(s) here were lost in an unfortunate accident(human error made by be) and a bit later the only copy remaining (resized for web use, hosted on flickr) was deleted by the yahoo bastards. I am very sad about the lost content, but is out of my control. My only hope is I will be able to replace them with more and better shots.

I got the opportunity for a second snail shoot.

Fruity blossom

A short pause from posting photos of beautiful and sometime nasty girls for some other beautiful things, like spring blossom. Today is all about fruits: apples, quince and strawberries. Yummmy….

I am not afraid that be bar would be raised too much, I have some really beautiful portraits still awaiting to be posted…

Senbonzakura Kageyoshi

What can I say more? Those are yoshiro cherry trees (染井吉野) in full blossom in the "Japanese Garden" from the Herastrau Park in Bucharest. Ah, there is something more to say: it was a warm day and the bees were flying from flower to flower. So Chire, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi.

About squirrels

The Romanian word for squirrel is "veveriță" and sometime is used in the same sense as the English "beaver", so I guess someone can argue about a link between those shoots and my usual stuff…

This little guy lives in the Herastrau Park and, even still stressed, is accustomed with people and is profiteering to grab some food.
