yes 박래원 thanks for your comment,it look like a wet roof after the rain
when I saw the first picture I thought slug was roof
yeah!noah it's a great medicin to animal's fobias,even my wife is taking pictures of spiders and i tell you that she was a aracnofobia person,lets prescribe this medicin to more people :-)
I'm certainly beginning to see the world through fresh eyes recently - I've even been taking photos of flies & I have a life-long phobia of them - or I used to!
thanks to both,it's a great pleaser to listen words like your's,at first slugs where a litle disgusting to me, but whith the spoting mode in which i'am,thanks to noah:-)they began to apear gentle and beautiful in there way,when i see the eyes,it's incridble give them personality:-)
I agree completely with KarenL. The slug is not an animal I tend to appreciate and these photos are beautiful and do allow me to appreciate this creature in its natural beauty. Thanks for the pics.
Antonio, you have brought out the beauty in one of my least favorite creatures!
I love the angle of the shot...the detail of the slug is also fantastic! :) Well done!
