small but strong (maybe it's thanks to the parsley)
I don't mind sharing my garden with small creatures like this snail, whom I found in one of the parsley bushes.
I admire the way it goes about its life with determination. The camera caught it stretched quite far outside its shell, getting ready to move onto a higher leaf.
This is my contribution to edition #125 of Black and White Wednesday - A Culinary Photography Event created by Susan of The Well-Seasoned Cook, now organized by Cinzia of Cindystar, and hosted this week by Sanhita of Pocket full of Spices.
The photo was shot in color and then converted to black and white (Lightroom preset B&W Look 4).
The gallery of images contributed to the event.
Spectacular shot! And yes, I think the parsley has something to do with its strength. :-)

One of my favorite of herbs, and so fun to say in Italian!

Wonderful click, SImona. How I wish to have a nice stroll like that snail NOW.

Thank you, Paz. Interesting theory.
I wholeheartedly agree, Debra.
Thank you, Sanhita. I think the snail enjoyed its stroll in the middle of the lush parsley. I guess I am a good host for snails ;)
