Animal Wednesday: For Debra Kay




A couple of you saw these photos already that I took at the Monterey Bay Aquarium while my uncle was visiting. I thought Debra Kay would like these because she really wants a shark! Perhaps these Leopard Sharks would be big enough for her. This guy was about 3 feet long. Fast and graceful!

I love the underside shot and the different colors of the foreground, middleground and background. I got lucky!

I wish I could have posted the ATC I did for Teri yesterday but then it would have been too early and I'd blow the surprise;)

HAW!!! Be careful when you go in the water!

Teri C said...

Fabulous shots Lolo!!! I wonder what Oliver would think if 'that woman' brought a shark home! lol

Did I ever tell you that I can't stand not knowing something? You just made me crazy with that statement!!!!!

Mim said...

Gorgeous shots, but sharks scare the be-jesus out of me! I just shouldn't watch movies. "The Birds" put me off birds..and "jaws" kept me out of the water for a long time. I have a terror of being eaten up

Oliver told me to stop by and I'm glad I did. I'd love to go back to the Aquarium some time.

Leopard sharks are so cute! There was one at the petting tank in Las Vegas-(can't remember the hotel) that would slap on the surface of the water until I scratched his back. I sat there until my friends said I had to leave-he was so sweet.

Sharks are so neat-they KNOW they aren't like the other fish....heh heh heh!

Yes the first one is my favorite too. What a great rich color and debth to it.

Renee said...

Amazing.

I agree with you as being your Raven sister I am sure you knew I would.

Yes the new header is by Kelly Vivanco. A secret, everytime I speak of my family (except maybe twice) I use one of her paintings.

So all of my sisters and children and husband and family are by her (except of course a few).

Love you xoxox

When is your birthday and where will you be living?

Love Renee xoxo

Stupendous shots of Sharks! They are such magnificent creatures. Glad I'm not a little fish in the tank with them however...

I love sharks! Great photos and #2 is my favorite.

Julie said...

Great shots!!! I want to see the Monterey Aquarium one day!!!

I hope Debra can have a shark one day...maybe as the owner of an aquarium! I have a feeling a tank might not fit in her house, anyway!!! :) You might like riding on one though, Debra! LOLOL! Sounds like fun!!!
