In the so many years that i have been looking at that horizon, i just realized those two mountains almost have the same shape. I've reached a lot of far places and countries, but i haven't been to those mountains which are still part of my province. It reminded me of a song "......but I've never been to me!"
There it is, it is a living thing. I put it on its back to expose those flesh, and it quickly return to the original position. It struggled a bit to topple down, but it regain its posture in little time. It really looks so slimy, and i guess that orange part is its liver. It looks like an exposed liver, amazing creation. This is a marine slug!
Above is a flatworm. They don't have body cavities so oxygen and nutrients pass their bodies by diffusion. What a very simple life! But...they are hermaphrodites, isn't that great!
We have some very colourful sea-slug on our coast - but I've not got any decent pictures (yet!)

The sea slug and flat worm are interesting. Lovely seaside shots.
ReplyDeleteWidok z pierwszego zdjęcia jest cudowny. Takich ślimaków wodnych nie widziałam . *** Dziękuję, że mnie odwiedziłaś i chcę Ci powiedzieć, Norwegia nie jest daleko od Polski i byłam tam na cudownych wakacjach. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteThe view from the first picture is wonderful. These snails have not seen water. Thank you *** that you visited me, and I want to tell you, Norway is not far from the Polish and I was there for a wonderful vacation. Yours.
Another great lesson. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, I love the exquisite light of these beautiful seascapes.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your beautiful paradise!
ReplyDeleteFascinating animals, though not exactly cuddly.
ReplyDeletedear andrea, thank you for such an enjoyable, artistic, interesting post. You go from macro to micro.
ReplyDeleteIts truly a contemplative & reflective moment to ponder.
ReplyDeleteEnjoying nature and its beauty.
Truly marvellous.
Lovely slugs pics and a fabulous first shot of the man on his boat.
ReplyDeletewhat are those mountains, Mindoro?:p
ReplyDeletegrowing up in Negros, i was always looking at Guimaras Islands at sunset--it's just across the bay but seemed like a world away. i promised myself to visit Guimaras one day, and i finally did, a few years ago.:p
i wonder if the slug is edible--pagkain agad ang naisip!*lol*
haha Luna, we are like that, we don't reach what is near us! Just like the song, I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me! Those mountains are in Batangas, as I've mentioned above. But there is an island only 20min to us, looked at it since we were kids but I've never been there, Tingloy. Other islands in our town i only reached last year because friends insisted i bring them there. But some islands in Visayas and Mindanao i already visited, haha!
DeleteInteresting post.That slug is amazing. It is true that we tend to neglect what is near.
ReplyDeleteAmazing shots of your beautiful world and nature within and around it ~ (A Creative Harbor) ^_^
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful shots. I've never seen a flatworm, though I've heard about them. You live in a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteAmazing camouflage! Thank you for sharing info on those slugs!
ReplyDeleteLike a science doc. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful view with the sky so yellow...is that the setting sun?
