Coco Worm

This is a Coco Worm, from Indonesia. They are close relatives of the earthworm...

Project Estuary

I undertook the project of creating a custom-designed system to mimic the estuary. I received special permission from local park rangers and rebuilt an aquarium with thickened glass on the bottom. Following completion of this, I embarked upon a journey into the estuary and returned with about 300 pounds of mud for the tank. I followed up with about two dozen mangrove propagules and voila! my estuary was born... I even have a method for manually shifting tides.

Storm

Sometime back in the summer of 2010, I was at work. Given that where I work is outdoors, which I love, and overlooks a large horse pasture, I get fantastic views of weather phenomena. This was a powerful thunderstorm that passed by and I couldn't resist taking a couple pictures.

Double Rainbow

Where I work, the retail floor is wide open to the outdoors and I get awesome views of weather phenomena and such. Last Saturday I got to see a double rainbow! It started as one, but became two and disappeared spontaneously. The second one is more faint, and can only be seen on the right as loosely defined color. What is peculiar is that the colors on the outside rainbow are reversed. They are not ROYGBIV, but VIBGYOR. YouTube and Google images further confirm this... See for yourself!

Shrimp

I've had a cleaner shrimp in my 200g aquarium for about 6 months. I see it maybe once a month, and that's pushing it. This morning, it was out ready to clean the denizens of the tank. The eel (Fimbriated Moray (Gymnothorax fimbriatus)), which I've had for four and a half years, was what received most of the attention. I never managed to get a shot of the shrimp actually inside the mouth of the eel, just some good shots of the eel.

 Notice the shrimp's antennae in the hole...

Washington Oaks State Park II

Went to Washington Oaks State Park a couple weeks ago with a friend and took some more awesome pictures... Also included at the bottom are a couple pictures I took while meandering through the woods...

The End

The end.

The end has many meanings but there is only one. The end is finite and infinite. Nothing ever ends, but everything has an end. The end is the beginning, with each beginning being the end. If the end is the beginning, then there is never a beginning or end. Therefore, if there is neither a beginning nor an end, then there can never be anything, because for there to be something, it must start. A start is a beginning, which doesn’t exist because it is also an end.

Therefore, it is impossible for you to read this. I never wrote this, but imagined writing it and imagined you reading it. I couldn’t have done that either, because I need to exist to be able to imagine or write. I never came into existence because that would have been a beginning, which never existed because it was an end, which also was a beginning…

Reality is a paradox unto itself.
