Slug & Snails

While preparing our backyard for the summer (uncovering chairs, sweeping up, etc.), my husband kept finding cute little critters. Every time he found one, he would call me into the backyard and I would force the poor little creature to pose for me before I relocated it to my garden.  So here are just a couple that we found.

A slug:

I know some people think that slugs are ugly, but look at this cute little face.

And some snails:

He refused to turn around and say cheese for me.

This poor little guy's shell was cracked.

But he still seemed content to be munching on some mulched up (is that even a word?) leaves.

Nom Nom.

  1. how did you manage to make slugs and snails look cute?! The little antennas slay me. The slug looks just like a teeny tiny snake. Great shots.
