Today’s Awesome thing is: Banana Slugs

A photo of a banana slug

Why I think they’re awesome:

I’m going to chalk this awesome thing up to a child-like sense of wonder.  I saw this beauty on the trek down to Second beach in La Push, Washington, and I felt compelled to take a photo.  I was fascinated by the slug’s massive size (at least 6″) and loved its color scheme.  I’m not a fan of regular slugs, but these, I’d happily observe for quite a while.
