Steve designed this Christmas card. It's a recent photo of his fish tank after he had trimmed the plants. This is only part of the fish tank and I enlarged the fish in photoshop so they could be seen.

Samantha Fish performing at the Canal House in Tuskawaras, Ohio. Great show, wonderful artist, and exceptional guitar player.
This seafood (and ice cream) restaurant is my first attempt to match the Lego Creator Modulars style. My sons collaborated on the model and some of its accoutrements. As you can see in some of the pictures, it connects up with some of the actual modular sets.
This is an Andrea Zuill pattern hand embroidered on a flour sack towel. It is going to be a gift for a friend that loves to fish.
So the legend says:
Pisces represents the fish into which Aphrodite and her son Eros transformed in order to escape the monster Typhon; they are tied together with a cord on their tails, to make sure they do not lose one another.
Happy Birthday Mom

TAXONOMY
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes)
Order: Perciformes (Perch-likes)
Family: Pomacanthidae (Angelfishes)
GENUS/SPECIES Holacanthus ciliaris
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: Like their close relatives the butterflyfishes, they have a deep, laterally compressed body, a single, unnotched dorsal fin, and a small mouth with brushlike teeth. The most observable difference between butterfly fishes is the long spine at the corner of the preopercle common to angelfishes.
H. ciliaris is deep-bodied and strongly laterally compressed. Dorsal and anal fins trail. The color of large adults is purplish blue with yellow-orange rims to the scales; head above eye dark blue. They have a distinctive "crown" is speckled dark blue and surrounded by a ring of bright blue.
Juveniles have vertical blue bands on an orange-red body. As the fish grows, the bars increase in number before gradually disappearing.
Length up to 45 cm (18 in), weight up to 1.6 kg (3.5lbs).
DISTRIBUTION/HABITAT: Found in Bermuda, Florida, Bahamas, Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico to Brazil on offshore reefs, 2 –70+ m (6-200+ ft). Travel solitary or in pairs among sea fans, sea whips and corals.
DIET IN THE WILD: Queen angelfish primarily feed on sponges and corals.; also algae, tunicates, hydroids and bryozoans. Juveniles glean ectoparasites from other fish.
REPRODUCTION: Pairs reproduce bringing their bellies close together, and release sperm and 25 to 75 thousand eggs (10 million per spawning cycle). The eggs are transparent, buoyant, and pelagic hatching after 15 to 20 hours into larvae with the yolk sac being absorbed after 48 hours. The larvae then develop normal characteristics of free swimming fish feeding on plankton and about 3–4 weeks after hatching the 15–20 mm (0.6–0.8 in) long juvenile settles on the bottom. Juveniles are found among colonies of finger sponges and corals at the bottom of reefs for protection.
CONSERVATION: IUCN: Least concern.

The return of some Christmas (window) critters. I first saw these fish in "Carnival of the Animals: Testing the Waters" in 2011.

Fish Lake is a high alpine lake (elevation approximately 8,848 ft or 2,700 m) located in the Fishlake/ Southern Wasatch Plateau region of south-central Utah, United States. It lies within and is the namesake of the Fishlake National Forest.
Fish Lake, six miles long and one mile wide, lies in a geologic structure known as a graben valley. It is bounded by the Mytoge Mountains on the southeast shore which sharply rise about 1,000 feet (300 m) above the lake level. Along the northwest shore, the lake is bounded by Fish Lake Hightop Plateau (summit elevation 11,600 ft / 3,500 m). The lake has an average depth of 85 ft (26 m) and has a maximum depth of 175 feet (53 m).
The lake is best known for its sport fishing — particularly its large lake trout (also known as mackinaw). In addition there are Yellow Perch located near the shores and have a 50 count limit as they are non-native. Mackinaw are caught every summer upwards of 25 lb (10 kg). The lake is stocked by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources fish hatchery in Glenwood. The region sees heavy snowfall in the winter, with snowfall occurring as late as June in any given year. For this reason tourist activity is at its peak in the summer months.
Pando, a clonal quaking aspen stand, that, according to some sources, is the oldest (80,000 years) and largest (106 acres, 13 million pounds) organism on Earth, is located 1 mile southwest of Fish Lake on Utah State Route 25.
The nearest town is Koosharem, 15 miles to the west (24 km). A larger community, Richfield, is within a one hour drive.
