Thought I'd take a look here before I sign off. Just went over 30,000 views of this thread. Very Happy

I've been doing some looking through all the posts. I've pulled out a few I especially like. I'll post them over the next few days.

Here are two of my favorites:

That picture was actually taken by a friend of mine, a wildlife enthusiast. I just had to share that beautiful picture, hope he doesn't mind. Smile

Way back in the late sixties and again in the mid seventies while on military assignments in Guam I became fascinated with the magnificent variety of animal life that existed beneath the surface of the surface of the ocean. on both tours of duty I was an avid snorkeler and had salt water aquariums in which housed a small portion of animal life I experienced. These aquariums gave endless enjoyment to me my family and friends. You could easily spend hours at a time viewing the activity.

This Conus Geographus with a Gobie peering over his back is one of my favorite photos from those days. Apologies for the quality of the image. My ability to digitize slides has plenty of room for improvement. The Geographus is one of about fifty known mollusks that is a predator of fish.

coolwhip, I hope your friend doesn't mind too. It's a wonderful picture. It captures the essence of fox.

mesquite, No need to apologize for the quality of the image. Don't see anything wrong with the quality, but even if I did, the content would make up for any deficiencies. Love this photo! Thanks for posting it.

Such a tender porcupine! Indeed, it should be hard to pet! ;-)
