Such a pretty face on this slug

This little slug was making tracks with several others in the sun on our front lawn last Spring.  I got down on the ground to see things from their point of view, and to see their faces. You'll notice that I have a thing for insect faces, as for other creatures.  I just love the sun and the translucent face, and the way its coloring matches the surroundings.  It looks so friendly, even though so foreign.

 

Gentle Pea Tendril

I grew vegetables this year for the first time.  One of the first things to come out and say hello were the sugar snap peas, a family favorite.  There was something so gentle and strong and reaching out about this particular pea tendril.
