A rare sea slug that can photosynthesize like a plant is the eastern emerald Elysia (Elysia Chlorotica). It may turn sunlight into energy by absorbing chloroplasts from the algae it eats (Vaucheria Litorea). Depending just on sunlight, some species can go up to a year without eating. Because of the stored chloroplasts, it has a green tint that acts as camouflage to keep predators away.
The slug, which may reach a length of 60 mm, lives in shallow water environments including tidal pools and salt marshes. The distinction between plants and animals is blurred by this amazing adaptation, which also provides fresh information on photosynthesis and energy efficiency.

Wild Geese
Mary Oliver
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting–
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

It's been a good journey but I will not continue to be posting pictures in this channel. I will continue to do so in @vadonavolva where you'll receive text and music as well 🤍 Thought it was good to have the images in a separate channel but I figured out it just makes my creation scattered. Thank you for understanding:) I will forward the pictures here for a while before closing this indefinitely.
