I was just at a restaurant recently with a giant aquarium that had a lionfish in it. It was so beautiful I took a picture of it with my cell phone and use it as the wallpaper.
Neat ... but curious - - it almost looks like the fish is NOT in the water but that it's on the water, ya' know? I mean logically the fish swims in the water (ya' smart, eh?) ... but this is so clear that 1) the blue is too blue for water and 2) the fish is just there! Rambling Gracie stops now! Thanks, Ed!
having been to Kansas only once and that being many years ago, on my first continent crossing, I see from your photos that it has not changed--not quite flat country that only a local would appreciate... but nice folks and a feeling of being in a different time.
