this was discovered in the backround of one of the pictures from ryan and rachele's wedding... i never noticed it before until the other night... i figured this moment needed to be it's very own capture.
thus, the cropping.
sir landon is one of my favorite people to walk this here globe.
if you'd like to hear this lovely boy sing take a little jaunt this a'way:
or
just to give you a little backround on this kid, for about 3 months he used twist-ties and broken suspenders to hold up his pants because he didn't like belts.
He has been known to create a miniature irrigation system with waterwheels, pipes, and channels completley from styrafoam, paper, and tape. He spends hours agonizing over some invention composed of cardboard, kite string, batteries, and the remains of an erector set- and discovers how to make it hover in the air.
He makes detailed booby traps by winding clear fishing wire through furniture legs and waits for hours underneath a table- just waiting to trigger his trap on the first victim who walks by.
He has created so many wheeled contraptions out of spare bike parts and wood, it's not funny.
He has built a mini working crane entirely out of toothpicks and super glue.
He can cook and bake like a french chef if he's in the mood, pumping out dozens of masterpieces from the kitchen with no experience whatsoever.
He even plays 3 instruments.
This kid's gonna be famous. Just wait. You'll be less cynical when he re-designs our universal transportation system and discovers how to effectively harvest oceanic crops to feed the world.
Ha, I am such a bragging older sister. But we'll see if I'm right, won't we? =D Meanwhile, you'll have to put up with me. You think THIS is bad? Wait till I get my own kids. heh heh. ;D

TAXONOMY
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Echinodermata
Class: Asteroidea
Order: Valvatida
Family: Oreasteridae
Genus: Protoreaster
Genus/species: Protoreaster nodosus
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: Backround body color is highly variable; may be beige, brown, orange, red or other hues, such as green or blue. Horn-shaped tall dark nodules are conical and arranged in a single row, radially on the dorsal (top) side. Most horned sea stars found are a roughly rigid five-pointed star-shape (occasionally 4 or 6) with tapering arms to the end. They are blue, dark green, dark chocolate or black, sometimes surrounded by milk chocolate-colored margins are responsible for this sea stars common name.
Diameter up to 30 cm (12 in).
DISTRIBUTION/HABITAT: Red Sea, Indian and western Pacific oceans. Found in shallow sheltered sand and seagrass beds.. Depth range Depth range 1 - 582 m (3.3 - 1900 feet).
DIET IN THE WILD: The mouth is located ventrally (bottom). The star covers its food, then pushes out its stomach from inside its body of prey. Sea stars have a unique adaptation for consuming bi-valve mollusks (oysters, clams, mussels, etc.). Stars insert a portion of their stomach into the small “gape” between the valves of a mollusk. Stomach enzymes are released and digest the fleshy part of the mollusk inside its own shell. The digested contents are moved back into the sea star leaving an empty bi-valve shell. P. nodosus prefers sponges, corals, clams and snails, other invertebrates; also opportunistic carrion feeders.
REPRODUCTION: P. nodosus is a broadcast spawner. As in other sea stars, fertilization is external. Eggs and sperm are stored in the rays and released simultaneously. Larvae look nothing like the adults. The form that first hatches from the eggs is bilaterally symmetrical and planktonic. Larvae eventually settle and transform into tiny sea stars.
PREDATORS: Triggerfish, pufferfish, boxfish and parrotfish.
CONSERVATION: IUCN Not Evaluated
REMARKS: The Chocolate Chip Seastars are also called “knobbly sea star” and the “horned sea star.”
The chocolate chip sea star can regenerate lost limbs, as long as the central disk of the body is intact.
