Butterflies, Slugs & Perceptions






Any caterpillar who tried to "know himself" would never become a butterfly. ~André Gide

"I'm a boot-ee-full butterfly" ~ Toy Story

I saw another wooly Slug last week-end and when I pointed him out to everyone, they all wanted to kill him. I scooped him out of harms way using a Magnolia leaf. Yes, they will sting the molasses out of you, but everything...even those things in life that are painful or not so pretty, has it's place

You are a good child of nature :)
Al always wants to kill the creepy spiders but they eat pests so I just brush them away.

Ahhhhhh, sisterlove, I love you!

And sometimes it's the bite that stings the most, that lights a fire and sends us chasing new horizons....

And for that, they truly are butterflies....

I'm a bit of a stinging caterpillar, myself.

<-- knows I have my place just the same.

That was really sweet of you and the thought that we all deserve respect and our little piece of place in this world I love it.
