Valerie came to visit me last week and we spent a few days on Santa Rosa Island together. Her first day we saw a lot of slug like animals.

Val is holding what we think is a Pleurobranch-a type of sea slug. We had lots of wild guesses from a tongue to a... well... slug. Guess that one was right.

Elephant seals sunning near Johnson's Lee.
They move kind of like slugs.

My favorite, Banana Slugs, in Lobo Canyon.

I hope you all had a happy Independence Day. Unfortunately I had to work, but the view wasn't too bad where I was working. It was even calm so I could hear the waves, and it was warm!



Plus I squeezed in a little beach time at the end of the day. Definitely can't complain about the crowds! The few of us up in housing had a BBQ/potluck of sorts and had a pleasant evening. The fog came in, so we couldn't see the fireworks on the mainland. Bummer.
