Tonight I saw two of the most opposing creatures that, in my eyes, were equally beautiful. Mom called me into the backyard to take a look at a baby bunny hiding under one of the flower pots, and on Baggins' nightly walk I came across this beautiful slug on the sidewalk. As soon as I got home I grabbed my camera and ran back halfway around the neighborhood to get a couple of shots of the shrinking, slimy, but intricately decorated, antenna-eyed slug. And as I was squatting on the sidewalk in front of someone's house, I realized that it is things like this that make me odd, b/c most 33 year old women don't do such things. And then I remembered why I'm cool with it- b/c when people expect you to be odd you can do pretty much anything and no one is surprised! It works out nicely, really! But I can't escape the metaphor of the bunny and slug, the fast and the slow, the beautiful and the ugly. It's all in the eye of the beholder, because I truly cannot make a distinction between the furry, doe-eyed rabbit's beauty and the slick, moist, striped slug's. Maybe it's just me....
