[Art Post] Wishing I Was a Snail

I discovered Ukranian photographer Vyacheslav Mishchenko today. You should really check him out.

This particular post caught my eye because 1: I've always had some weird fascination with snails. As a kid, they roved in groups in the woods on our property. I couldn't count how many times I attempted to keep one as a pet. It never seemed to work out, usually because I was like, 8-years-old and had no idea how to care for a snail. Poor things. Also, 2: There are so many varieties of snails out there, and more often than not, I forget how fun they are to see up close.

This guy gets up close with snails, and just made me fall in love all over again with them.

Here's some fancy macro photog work, from Mr. Mishchenko:












Ugh. Just.... LOVE.
The last one is my favorite; I love how delicate and deliberate it is, all wrapped up together in one cute little shell.

It's been a while since I shared an art blog. This one is definitely worth checking out; he is an amazing artist!

In other news, volleyball was tonight, and because we live in Ohio, it was of course frigid. Our poor, frozen toes! We had a blast though, as usual, and are hoping next week offers a more.... mild evening for playing.

This week is almost over... sheeeesh!
