Slowly, but surely.....

Every morning for over a week now I keep seeing this little guy crossing over the footpath.....and each morning when I jump over him I am running late for my train to work, and I always think to myself "tomorrow, I will stop and take a picture of him".....but of course I never do, as I am always rushing to catch my bus to take me to the station.

Each of these mornings he is crossing the path in the same direction, so I must miss him when he makes his journey back over.

I do wonder where he is going and what he plans do do when he eventually gets there? I hope it's worth all the effort ;)

Well today I was early, very early (but my bus was very, very late) and without fail, there he was, making his daily journey to goodness knows where.....and finally I took my photo opportunity!

Doesn't he make a good subject?

And although his modelling work with me in done, I do hope to see him again next week, same time, same place ;)

Time sometimes flies like a bird, sometimes crawls like a snail; but a man is happiest when he does not even notice whether it passes swiftly or slowly.

(Again this is a back-blip, I got home after work, I think I managed my dinner, but then fell asleep again!! I am usually a night owl but maybe the 1am sleeps and 6am wakes are taking their toll??)

Even a snail will eventually reach its destination.
