This is the first, and hopefully only, time I post a photo of a slug but this little guy just insisted on being the center of attention today. Yesterday brought a huge windstorm to the Seattle area and today John, Ryan and I ventured out hoping to visit a “new to us” beach. The first park we tried was closed due to storm damage and the second was closed to us by a combination of private roads and electronic gates but we persevered, parked our car, and made our own fun taking pictures of what we could see along the road and trails.

I remember the first time I visited Seattle and saw a slug. I was not impressed… (With the slug, I love Seattle. 🙂 )

And by “not impressed” I mean completely grossed out…

They gross me out too! I try to deal with it since the outdoors is their home but honestly I haven’t had much success…

Slugs are really not my ‘cup of tea’. 🙂

I completely agree! But he was making a delicate path across the moss. 🙂

Beside the slug, it’s a lovely photo 🙂 Kind of went with the theme of the last few days.

Between sandwich guy and your nurse/doctor thing, the slug summed it up 🙂

We saw two great big Banana slugs during our trip around PNW. Awesome, but not in the same way as a chipmunk, say, or a hummingbird…Easier to get photos of, though!

Yes, they don’t move out of the frame quite so quickly!

Such richness of texture – almost like a really good food shot – it all just jumps out on the screen.

Since when has a slug been delicate? 🙂

Maybe never? 😉 But I thought the moss was a delicate, lacy green. 🙂

Lovely colors you have there.
Every August, we spend a week or so in Bandon, Oregon. Our girls (9/11) are fascinated by the slugs they find there. And really, can they be that bad? The name of the atheletics progam at UC Santa Cruz is, Banana Slugs.
Google it; I’ll wait…………….

David, thanks for the laugh! I didn’t know about the UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs before today. 🙂 I’m happy to hear you like the colors in this photo and no, slugs aren’t that terrible…they only make it on my bad list when they eat my flowers or get squished by bare feet…
