Something out of a Sci-Fi movie.


This is a banana slug,

photographed by my mother

on one of her trips to the Palo Alto, California area.


And, I can't resist throwing in a picture of our sweet Annie-pie.

Grab a camera and a critter and join Camera Critters each Sunday!

Yuck for the slug. WE found a slug in our yard the other day, gross.
Annie is cute but to me she kinda looks upset in this picture, no?

Good pics, but eeewww on the banana slug.

Darn it, I'm gone for like a day and way down in the comment list. :(

Annie looks a lot like my sister's(the day tripper) dog Riley. I call him buckethead with that massive cranium of his.

My son recently graduated from the University of California at Santa Cruz and believe it or not their college mascot is a Banana Slug! I still have a "Slug Mom" license plate frame on my car. Lol!

Hi Annie... you're a pretty girl!

Annie is very sweet. The slug - not so much.

I have a friend who went to school in California...to the banana slug school. Who thought that would make a great mascot?! Very cool picture though...

Gotta love the California Banana Slug. Did you know it's UC Santa Cruz's mascot?? I'm gonna go hug my dog now, after seeing Annie pie. She's too cute.

Annie-pie has the same expression on her face that I did when I saw that slug! lol Although, the slug is a pretty colour!
