AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

A Fancy Slug


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ After even more rain, I found this slug on my verandah.
Its markings seemed quite strange and fascinating!

Gemma! I thought for a minute that you were visiting Oregon! Eugene has a late summer celebration that features crowning of a "Slug Queen" -- a silly take off on beauty pageants. Anyway, the real things are very prevalant here in the spring and summer. I love the photo.

Looks like a leopard slug. Nice find! These slugs are actually FAST for a slug, believe it or not.

I'll take a slug any day over our scorpions or centipedes even though the slug looks kind of yucky. :D
