Frankman, Gotcha!  Everything in that shot of three apples on a snail is real and so is the background. Its part of the walk up to my front door. The trick was in balancing the three apples (trick is my own for now) and then placing the lava stones in just the right manner to leave a small scoop underneath where I put the snail and then waited until he relaxed enough to poke out of the shell and start his escape.

Yup, that's how I did it! :-)
