Beautiful

You must go to this link and look at pictures of beautiful sea slugs. They are truly amazing. It always stuns me how much detail and variety and beauty there is in the world and how most of the time it goes unnoticed.

At the U, Will's research focused on a sea slug from this nudibranch family. It wasn't quite as stunning as these examples, but it was a lovely critter.

I find myself smitten with the intensity of color in these slugs and indeed in any forms of sealife. Thanks for putting up these links.

Beautiful! The images remind me of the fractals from Nova last night. Cool.
