wow, I think snails might grow faster than they move!

I see they're quite prolific!!!!! And...after doing their job, they're now interesting in travelling, aren't they?! They seem eager to know more about traffic regulations....

Those snails are just having too much fun!! :-D Um, I am wondering what happened to brood #1?

and after do you eat them like the French do ? :-$

Now, the question has to be asked...Some people have dogs, some have cats, some have horses, some iquanas, parrots, cockateils, mice, gerbils and rabbits....Snails????????? Is this atonement for a heinous sin carried out in your youth? The gypsy in you admiring animals that carry their own house? Ronnie, what is the back-story?

Good job on the speech. The snail family picture ... reinforces the idea so excellent! As always a characteristic humor that is appreciated! Best regards, Adela

You raise intellectual lawyer snails..:-000000
Make sure they won't change their eating habits from leaves into pages!

you have pet snails? do you name them? can you even tell them apart? so you have little trails of slime all over your house? don't step on them, i foresee massive guilt if you do.... i see your snails read really boring books, that's typical... hehe great shot of 'the brood' :)

we all know "the mills of justice grind slowly", but as slowly as snails? come on, you can do better! great closeup of your pets, including the lettuce leaf, and funny words - as usual!

I suspect that is about the pace one would need to go, however, to understand those regulations! They're working as fast as they can.

Time flow is a matter of perspective.

: ( I cant see anything here ... what should I do ? :(

They will not be speeding ! A little family very quiet on this writing diagonally ! :o)

j'aime les escargots, belle composition.

Love these legal snails, I am going to have a dilemma now with the next snail I find in the garden!

Wonderful concept on Snails and Justice ... You have already plenty of out lines for next episodes ... Great work. Lot of fun and knowledge. Love it. Well done, Ronnie ! :)

I see you have found a rewarding hobby! :-)

Hail the snails! Talk about legal workflow. And Lily's odd syntax ;p.

Hehe look at all those baby snails!

A family trip ? lol

Don't worry Lilly litigation always travels at a snails pace, though it's going to cost a bob or two to turn that building up the right way again. Ronnie those two large ones look just about ready for a bit of garlic butter.

what a lovely snail family

Superb story and image!

103 snails for this photograph - wow! Ronnie, how does it feel to be part of 'their' collection - lol!

What a lovely little family

Superb ! Sure no rush but the small one looks a little curious !

beautiful!!

'A second brood...' Are you supplying London's restaurant's Ronnie ?This is a great sharp image, and good to see mum & dad reading the traffic regulations.

Ah they are so darned cute! Exercise is good for snails. Help them keep their figures. : )
Great shot - and I'm just in love the little ones - well - the big ones too actually.

Creative as always, well done ,)

An interesting and perhaps very slimy shot.

Where did you get these lovely worms?! Cool!

And when they've grown, what then? Is it proper to eat your pets?

so cool AAA+++++

The house on the left side is vacant?! ;) If you watch carefully Ronnie, you can see those snails grow :) I like your pets Ronnie, hope Lilly doesn't have a hedgehog crawling around!

Great image and very interesting info! Best regards, Andrei.

Very nice shot !

lovely shot ...

more snails, huh? what will you do with them all (besides photograph)?

I love snails and I love these ones. Great background ^^

Wonderful...they are growing fast.

Love your snails tales - and the light here is just fab along with the compo !

Great to see the new brood of snails! They must be faster than the rusted machinery of the legal process!

Delicate capture,so lovely and interesting one:)

funny slow shot loved it

Congratulations! You're a grandpa!
Amazing tales of snails, and very interesting. To hear they grow so fast, I never knew.
At first I assumed this a story about emissions control from snails and thought what is this world coming too.
One thing for certain, Ronnie brings everything home.

Excellent ! Jolie famille !

So cute. I need to get some snails, just to put our local newspapers into proper context.

Is this a 3 generation shot ? love the light here.

I couldn't have snails as pets...they are too delicious.

Great shot. I am quite amazed at the baby snails. I never really considered that they have babies. That looks like one big happy family about your eat your law book.

They seem like a happy family! Nice one... again!

The family Snail has a very intellectual grounding.

beautiful image ;)

Nothing like a new batch of snail babies....these just brightened my day!

Nice post and story !
I like a lot your image too.

interesting and amazing how they grow fast.

Oh my, Ronnie! You seem to have a full-fledged snail farm going there. They do make interesting subjects.

They seem to be very cool to read the minutes of the accident there for long, see you tomorrow :)) Good day.

Wonderful and Creative shot; interesting on their growth!

yeah, i think, they have a lot of time to read the newspaper!
beautiful compo!

terrific. fine capture. neat title

Are these "common" garden snails you are keeping as pets??
I think the winter is taking its toll...

Wow!. Excellent details of the little snails.

hahahahahahahahah!!!!!!

If only that car traveled at a snail's pace. ;-) I am intrigued by someone who has snails. It's interesting to see this "family" develop.

composition originale ! Je te souhaite une agréable journée
JP

Rememered me the Zymurgy's law: "Once you open a can of worms, the only way to recan them is to use a larger can"... Don't exercise them too hard :)

Great composition! A fabulous idea!

Hahaha... this is great ! It reminds me of a photo I took (a snail on a watch) for a contest... I'll post it one of these days. Anyway, it's really well done. Have a lovely day :)

Another super refreshing and joyful portraiture of this lovely family! How cute are the little ones! Must be fun and gratifying to raise them and see them grow! Thanks for the delightful update!:-)

Is unusual to find ©O2S 2011 instead of the L and R in the picture ...
however take care of the little family ...

sluggish?!! I don't think so ! .. one of my compatriots in AM3, tells me that the hosting server of images in AM3 is filtering in our country :( :((((((((((((((( I'm so sad about this happening and we (Iranian people) cant see Images on AM3 anymore :( :-<

Congratz on the Color Spotlight on this happy snail family:-))

It looks like I'm not the only one to have been awarded a spotlight ;) CONGRATULATIONS

Is it wrong that my first thought was "Mmm... tasty..."?

I was wondering how was going your snail livestock, I can see many young ones. May be salads would not be enough and they might be interested by your books, be careful about their damages. I feel that Lilly is a bit anxious for the articles concerning her car...

Congratulations on the Color Spotlight!

These guys have earned you a place in the Color Spotlight :) Congrats!

Congratulations for the "Spotlight Color. Good day.

Has Arlo met the snails? Could be an interesting encounter.

Lovely snail family photo! They're really growing and moving fast, ignoring all the traffic rules and regulation! :D

Um... OK, why am I not surprised that you would be hatching snails???? LOL

Hi

7 star :)

Congrats for the Spotlight Color....Great.

Um ... No , the filter wasent off ! .. I solve my problem by antifilter :D

A nice action shot.
Congratulations for the spotlight color

Congratulations on the color spotlight!

There's obviously a common gene shared by snails and rabbits - though these are a lot easier to feed! Just love your title and the narrative!

Excellent work Ronnie!

Beautiful snails are my favorite animals
