    While on an adventure and hiking through the Blue Mountains, deep in the
Australian outback, I came across this little guy. Well, maybe not so little,
and maybe not so much a guy. (hard to tell from this angle)
    Anyway, it was about 3 inches long. So considering some of the slugs I
have seen in the Pacific Northwest of our own country at lengths of over 6
inches or so, this thing wasn't so big. But it did have some interesting
markings and colors that I had never seen before.

    It almost escaped me and my camera's probing lens as it quickly
attempted to duck away behind a small limb. But it just wasn't fast enough
for the Ninja-quick reflexes of this photographer. No way.

    The Blue Mountains are about a 2-4 hour drive outside of Sydney,
Australia and are truly a beautiful place to venture through.
