Davis, the Seahorse

Who would ever have guessed that a November trip to Davis Park, Fire Island would turn up a seahorse on the beach? Certainly not me! I didn't even know that seahorses are IN the water surrounding our beaches.

But they are and Davis here, is a lined seahorse common to the south shore of Long Island. They are slow swimmers so usually hitch on ride on seaweed, which is how this little guy ended up on the beach. He was in a pile of seaweed, pebbles and sand.

A New Beginning

About a year ago I spent a number of hours creating my personal website at Mobile Me. I took classes at the Apple store and worked hard to create a website that looked professional and highlighted my passion for photography. Then I upgraded ALL my devices to the Lion operating system and with an unexpected ROAR, by website was eaten alive and could no longer be edited or accessed! What a frustrating, disappointing day it was to find that Apple no longer supported iWeb. I know, I should have read ALL the fine print before updating, but of course, me being me, I just jumped in with both feet and discovered the consequences later!   I looked for alternatives, found a few, and got over my initial disappointment. Then my friend Rich told me about this blogging site, so I might as well try this too. So here goes - my first photography blog.
