Since I've committed to making all my PhotoHunt posts photos from our travels, this one was especially difficult. Although we aren't particularily lazy travellers, I do have a few photos of relaxing in beach chairs or at sidewalk cafes. But, there is nothing unusual about that.
For some reason, when we travel, I love to take pictures of dogs. So, I've got dozens of pictures of dogs sprawled out in different cities around the world. But, a lazy dog lying around soaking up the sun is a very common sight, isn't it? In fact, I'm betting that a great number of this weeks PhotoHunt posts will be pictures of dogs doing what dogs do so well.
So, in a search for inspiration, I went to the trusty old Webster's Dictionary to look up the definitions of the word LAZY.
There I find that one defination is "sluggish". And that gave me my photo for this hunt.
For our trip last summer to Spain and Portugal, I stole a little wind-up catepiller of the desk of one of my co-workers. I named him Bookworm and as we travelled, I created a photo journal called Bookworm's Excellent Adventure. Here we see Bookworm making friends with a slug on the patio of our farm stay at Casa Perfeuto Maria in Galicia.

Great photo. What could be more lazy than a snail? Even when he's trying to do something, he's lazy...
I did Photo Hunters today, too! If you have time, pay me a visit and leave your link. :)

This is very creative and clever. "Sluggish" is perfect. Love the perspective on the photo too (that is a big slug!). Have a nice weekend, Annie

That is funny!
I love seeing what people choose to define a word.
Have fun!

Slugs are definitely lazy creatures. It looks like an interesting encounter between Sluggie and Mr Bookworm. Fun post.

Clever, but am I the only one a little grossed out by this?
Deborah responds:
I think, only you, Kim. :evil grin:

Heh. Only you could make a slug look cute. (I usually just peel them off my garden lettuce and run for the salt.)
Deborah responds: Thanks for the compliment, Amy. At least I think it was a compliment. tee hee. But the real issue is the SALT! Should I be alerting PETA?
