A snail pays his respects...


The photographer John Dierckx wrote about this snail:

'The day started relatively cold. A snail agreed on the nippiness
and as soon as we opened the window in the morning he quickly
came in trying to find some warmth'.

'Snail love'


A snail with poetry on its shell


This snail has a poem on its shell - please, click on the image below
to read it. JaimiB who is the artist behind this art work writes:

I wrote there lines from an old song that I first heard
Leonard Cohen and his musicians sing a capela at the end of
a concert, in 2009. And also "Though lovers be lost, love
shall not, and death shall have no dominion"
