Late post today..

This shot was taken out at White Rock B.C. These fish, which think were sardines?, were circling the posts of the pier in a very symetrical ballet. There were what seemed millions of them. We watched them for probably an hour trying to get shots of them to show what was going on. It was just incredibly fascinating watching these fish all staying the same distance from the posts as they just kept circling.

You can view my gallery of images and calendar for sale at: cute but stupid . I'm slowly adding more to the site and if there is something in my portfolio you would like to purchase but is not available on my site just contact me and I'll make it available.

I appreciate all visits and comments and thank you always... ;-)
