Thanks,

My 4 year old daughter and I often go on hikes. they usually start by me asking what she thinks we should go photograph on the hike. answers usually range between river, waterfall, lake, berries, ocean....i was shocked to hear 'slugs'. we had so much fun the first day that we went out again.

Thanks for the comments and remarks. We do own that book and have read it several times. They are a hard creature to appreciate. Easy to photograph...tough to appreciate.
