My little marine world

Thought you might like to see my little underwater world.  I have a small (2 gallon) marine tank set up.  In the past, my husband was in charge of our fishtanks, setting them up,etc.  Now I get to try to keep the little tank going without too many mistakes.  So far so good! 
 It has brought me literally hours of enjoyment, watching all the little critters in it.  I have a couple of shrimp, a little fish, some snails and hermit crabs, starfish, and oh yes, some bristle worms.  The worms are the tank maids-they clean up any old food sitting around.  Here are some pictures of my fishtank-

Will post more pictures as I add to my mini reef.

Don't lose that float!

This was seen going down the road-the float was flying in the wind, but still attached to their truck-

Retirement is great!

Well it is the night before the first day of school and I am not getting last minute things ready for a new class of kids.  Instead I am listening to Buffett, knowing retirement was definitely the right choice.  I am still teaching, but on my terms-

and about things I love-fish, jellies, crabs, sea turtles, and even how to make sandcastles!  And who could ask for a more fantastic classroom!?  Isn't it great?

I can't wait for tomorrow...now it feels like I have retired!

A MAN & HIS DOG

TWO COOL DUDES OUT FOR A RIDE-

My favorite critter

I was going through some of my photos and found these.  I love watching pelicans fly in their v-pattern overhead.  Haven't snapped that photo yet...someday I'll have my camera at the right time and place.  These are some of my favorite pelican pix-

I've often said, "If I get to come back in a 2nd life, I want to be a pelican."



Interesting website

Here is a website that has the sound of shrimp snapping, plus many more sounds to hear.  I never knew a seahorses and lobster make sounds.  Pretty neat.

NOODLE WATER!!!

When I rounded the curve this morning, there it was- NOODLE WATER!  I had to curb my excitement and watch it for a few hours before I could grab my noodle and head to the beach.  What is noodle water???  Its crystal clear, coke bottle green, flat, and just the right temperature.  It looks like this-

COME ON IN, THE WATER IS JUST PERFECT!
