I began poking at it with “the claw”, a militant sheller’s implement of conchological doom. Tootie hunkered down next to me to investigate. It was difficult to hear one another over the roar of the pounding surf, which periodically surprise-attacked us up there at the top of the giant shell pile, but I guess she’d heard just enough...

First up is a very brief video of a tank of anemones, with the star attraction, “Nemo”. I don’t think Pixar realized what they’d be doing for the clown fish industry when they released Finding Nemo.

It’s a nice little place to spend the day with children who like animals. It made a wonderful outing for me and Bro. No. 2′s family during my recent visit to Long Island. My youngest niece, who is three and a half years old, had a good time. Today we’re going to...

One spot is on the Kilimanjaro Safari attraction, where the jeep driver will tell you that flamingos are pink because of what they eat (shrimp, algae). There’s a rather amusing but informative explanation of this “you are what you eat” phenomenon that...
© Copyright 2008 Tink *~*~* http://MyMobileAdventures.blogspot.com My friend Christene lives in the Tampa area, and today she went to the beach at Fort DeSoto to look for shells and generally dig the sunshine. It got me to thinking – I’ve been to the Tampa area for business, and I’ve been there to meet up with family at the the Busch Gardens Africa theme park, but I’ve never been there for beach purposes.
