Do You See What I See?


This could be an average, ordinary photo of a local highway. Or it could be...


The photo of a snail about to cross the road.  (I just hope he waits until traffic slows down!)


I saw this "snail tree" while driving on the highway a few weeks ago.  My understanding husband, Bob, found a safe place I could take a photo of it... There's nothing like dragging my family into my crazy, right?!? Ha!

I will file this image away and someday it may become the subject of a drawing or painting because...

    I did not see that. :) I had to go back to look at it again. But yes, it's a snail. :)

    you are maybe a cloud gazer also? i try to see the shapes and then make my beloved nuts by insisting that, "it's there, it's there!"

    I love that! Now I can't see it any other way. And how cool that your family is so willing to help you get the photo!

    That is so cute Kristin. I see the snail in the green tree. Very good. I'm not surprised that you would notice it, clever you.:)) Nice job. Snail traffic, you should call it.

    LOL - I saw a squirrel with a big tail not a snail.

    Wonderful!

    LOL, that is awesome.

    It's amazing though you can drive past the snail 100 times and then only just see it. And then its the only thing you see.

    I love it and I love the reminder to be open every day.

    Great contrast of speed and slow. I'll bet your painting of this would be very interesting.

    I honestly believe with my whole heart that it is our job to drag our family into our crazy at all times... and so glad the poor chicken got a day off!!!

    And to think I didn't see the snail until you drew it. Now I see it in the first photo and it's all I see. Amazing how we have tunnel vision, even in art. And if I had a family, I would probably drag them into my crazy, too! It is definitely something I have been known to do.

    Very cool Kristin...we think alike. I would have noticed that sail even without the
    Help! Love how nature imitates so many things :-)
