First Post and Leafy Sea Dragons

Welcome to my blog!

I've been wanting to start a photography blog for some time now, but I have been short on just that thing--time. With the Christmas and New Year's slow down, I've finally been able to put it together. Now I just have to find the time to keep it updated!



I have a lot of back-tracking to do, so be prepared for some "old" material the first few weeks. Speaking of which, a few weeks ago Jay and I headed to the
Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium
when they were offering free entry with the donation of a canned good. I'm afraid the zoo was not much to speak of--most of the animals were seeking shelter from the winter cold in their "habitats"--but we did enjoy seeing "dragons" at the aquarium. Yes, there are dragons that apparently swim the seas around Australia. They're called Leafy Sea Dragons, and they're incredible to watch as they "glide" through the water. Jay thought it would be fun to own one, until he found out that they are next to impossible to buy and also very difficult to keep. So, no sea dragons for us.
