I just had gotten my new phone, so when I saw the slug, I wanted to try and get a nice shot... 😊

#Slug #Nature #CloseUp

A close-up photograph features a dark brown slug with lighter brown stripes traveling vertically on a textured surface composed of small rocks, moss, and various vegetation. The slug’s elongated body is glistening slightly, suggesting damp conditions, while its tapered head faces downward with extended tentacles—two longer ones above, and two shorter ones below—helping it navigate. The surrounding area is rich with green grass and plants, indicating a natural outdoor setting, likely a humid environment conducive to slug activity. The intricate details of the slug’s body, including subtle ridges running along its length, are visible, demonstrating its slimy, flexible anatomy as it clings to the uneven surface.

they really are! Although, some moments, especially in summer during rainy periods... It can he hard to avoid treading on them. Especially when Arwen and I walked during the nights. 😊

Awwww Fankoos! I had to "be quick" due to having Arwen with me. I took some others as well, may see if I can share another one of the "set". Thanks again! 💜

And the first thing you do is making a photo of a snail stumbling and faceplanting. It isn't easy having just one foot.

ouch! But I can totally understand... I have had hip issues since I was 16, with many surgeries... And this snap I took was just a few weeks before my surgery where they had to replace my hip cup, as it was loose... So the whole balance thing... Yeah... It's not easy! And I had two feet, just one leg not working well all the time. 😊

Compassion comes from knowing how things are and feel. 😁
Hope you'll get better, even when it takes time as with snails.

people that know the struggle can empathize way better indeed...
Thank you. It's taking its time, but I hope that my leg will recover as much as possible... It's taken quite a beating this year.
Have a nice Sunday!
