A brownish-green banana slug with dark mottled spots clings vertically to a bright green leaf in a lush forest setting. The leaf hangs from a stem above a shallow stream bed of smooth gray stones, with soft-focus trees and foliage in the background.

Ariolimax columbianus hanging out (munching on?) a leaf still attached to its tree down by the creek.

These gastropods are so common in the area that I could get you a new photo of a different slug every day of the week from now until the end of the world. Low-stakes photography for my first media share here 😅

Close-up photo of a west coast lace weaver spider resting on a weathered wooden stake in a garden. The spider has glossy reddish-orange legs and head, and a large, rounded, silvery-grey abdomen held upright. Green foliage blurs softly in the background.

Spider season started early on the Olympic Peninsula this year. Walking into webs every which way I go isn't my favorite thing in the world, but I do love the opportunity to photograph some cool arachnids. This particular spider is Callobius severus. My partner saved her from drowning, and I captured a bazillion photos while she recovered in the sun.
