saturday critters

spotted this slug on the river trail.  There are always a few of them out and about on misty mornings.  It took him a long time to get in a posing position.

  7. Did you know a slug is a claustrophobic snail? He can't stay in his shell.

    I saw a slug in the garden once. It was going so fast I had use a special speed and aperture in the camera - like photographing the Grand Prix races!

    God bless.

  12. I hope he/she was pleased with his/her portrait. I think I would have avoided her rather than asking her to pose for me. Something about things that slither along the ground...

  23. There are more slugs than snails in the world because slugs do not wear protection.

  26. I never realized they were that long, Bill, as the ones I found occasionally in our garden were not as cooperative in showing off.

  27. They are interesting little things.

  28. we also have them in our garden
    I do not like them

  29. Fact of life here too, tho I don’t see as many as we used to. Maybe because we aren’t here during the real rainy season. (That May change this coming year...Florida’s not looking likely at the moment.)

    All the best Jan
