The Finish Line is in Sight

It does not matter
how slowly you go
so long as you
do not stop.

This photo always make me laugh when I come across it in my photo stream...maybe its just me? It was taken at the Aquarium of the Bay in San Francisco. These two starfish or sea stars were pressed up on the glass. For some reason I think of the nursery rhyme verse "the dish ran away with the spoon." However, you can make up your own story about these two.
I changed it to B&W so it cut out other distractions in the water.
Probably best on Black.

they certainly look like star fish with character. Your text refers to keeping on going, but the first thing I thought when I saw this was how perfectly it fitted this coming week's flash or red 'still life' theme. The two sit together so perfectly as if you had arranged them.

A wonderful capture! I agree, “the dish and the spoon” is a perfect comparison.

The big certainly looks like it's running away :)

I totally get your analogy to the dish and spoon image! If I recall correctly, the illustration was in that composition! You're too funny...and I love that you "see things in that fashion"!
