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.
