About Oregon is known for large and healthy plants , and things that live off the plants.... this is a SLUG that is as long as your normal writing pen, and a minimum 3 inches round ... It is very slimmy and creepy but I do hope that You can look beyond the creepiness and focus on the image itself to comment if You will ..

Thank You

Dear Ozjan - this is what I would call 'ugly' and more than that 'creepy' because it is slimey and slick...BUT ..I should find some kind of beauty in this 'Slug' too- Right (?) I will try :))

Thank You for the very kind comment of support my friend and generous rate.

Hi JD ...You are THE only one that noticed the diagonal shot ... but I suppose it was hard to view beyond the creepiness of this slug !! Hah!!! I fine it hard to belive that your slugs are even UGLIER than this one but I take your word for it and no need to show me :))
Thank You for your time to view and to comment my dear..
Cheers Mate,
Michele~

Wow ! This is bigger but not as UGLY as our Aussie Leopard slugs, which grow to only about 5 inches ( 120mm ). You have done well to be QUICK enough to capture him before he scoots of to devour a healthy cabbage or....
Shooting him on the diagonal was a good trick, as it adds more interest too.
Cheers
JD

Cute title. I have a small veggie garden and between the deer and these creatures they give me fits. A very sharp focus especially for the head. Often in doing a close up of something this size I have trouble getting the entire object in sharp focus. Good job. Del.
