using different camera settings.

These are the best four from a group I shot of a hibiscus blossom.

Tennessee Aquarium: Not fish

Poison Dart Frogs

 

 

Dendrobates Leucomelas

   

"Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and howlet's wing,--
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."
Macbeth (IV, i, 14-15)

Tennessee Aquarium: Jellies

"I've never seen so many electric jellyfish in all my life!"~Ned Plimpton

  

"Those who admire the massive, rigid bone structures of dinosaurs 

should remember that jellyfish still enjoy their very secure ecological niche"~ Beau Sheil

  

"Trying to make order out of my life was like trying to pick up a jellyfish."~ Gene Tierney

  

"When you move like a jellyfish rhythm don't mean nothing. 

You go with the flow, you don't stop. 

Move like a jellyfish, rhythm means nothing. 

You go with the flow you don't stop."~Jack Johnson

    

 

"I didn't really look for them. 

I knew that once I saw the jellyfish, that anything goes."

~ Deon Butler

    

One has to secrete a jelly in which to slip quotations down people's throats

- and one always secretes too much jelly.~Virginia Woolf 

The following quote is a little serious to associate with a picture,

but I thought I'd include it because I found it thought provoking.

"The cult of the jellyfish is no less an imposition of a religious movement than is the cult of the dinosaur. 

When designing a methodology it is undoubtedly far easier to construct a system that discourages individual differences, than it is to construct a system that leverages and encourages them, 

but that does not mean that a methodology designed for an array of idealized entities will be the most productive, successful, or rewarding one."~Beau Sheil

This is shot through a window into a building, through another window and across the street.

The power lines at the top are a reflection in the first window and are behind and above me.

Reflections of town

I went for a little photo walk in town this morning.

Most the shots weren't worth posting.

    

I did like these though.

  

These are all reflections in store windows.

I see you starring, dont cha say hello, say hello say hello 

~Tory Lanez

  

All men are equal before fish.~Herbert Hoover

   

I never drink water because of the disgusting things that fish do in it.~W. C. Fields

   

“Why does Sea World have a seafood restaurant?? 

I'm halfway through my fish burger and I realize, 

Oh my God....I could be eating a slow learner.”~Linda Mongtomery

    

I think fish is nice, but then I think that rain is wet, so who am I to judge?~Douglas Adams 

  

So long and thanks for all the fish.~Douglas Adams

    

Have a wonderful week!
