It was 7:45 we were all in line
2 greet the teacher Miss Cathleen. First was Kevin, then came Lucy, third in line was me..
All of us where ordinary compared to Cynthia Rose
She always stood at the back of the line a smile beneath her nose. Her favorite number was 20 and every single day.
If U asked her what she had 4 breakfast this is what she'd say..
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
And a side order of ham
If U set your mind free, baby
Maybe you'd understand
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Cynthia wore the prettiest dress
With different color socks
Sometimes I wondered if the mates where in her lunchbox
Me and Lucy opened it when Cynthia wasn't around
Lucy cried, I almost died, U know what we found?
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
And a side order of ham
If U set your mind free, honey
Maybe you'd understand
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Starfish and coffee
Cynthia had a happy face, just like the one she'd draw
On every wall in every school
But it's all right, it's 4 a worthy cause..
Go on, Cynthia, keep singin'
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
And a side order of ham
If U set your mind free, baby
Maybe you'd understand
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam

It seems as if this common starfish (member of the Forcipulatida), that I found many years ago, is still dancing through life....
Another image from my trip to Cayo Guillermo last month, this one a starfish taken in the shallow waters along the coast.
Thanks for taking a look and have a great day!!

Starfish cacti (Stapelia grandiflora) are also more morbidly called the carrion flower. These stinky, but spectacular, plants share similar traits to those from the carnivorous family in that they possess insect attracting flora (but are not carnivorous), which range in size from a couple of inches high to plants that bear 12-inch wide flowers. This plant species is native to South Africa, so growing starfish flowers usually requires warm, humid temperatures or a specialized greenhouse environment.
These plants aren’t exactly cactus but are members of the succulent group of plants. They are soft stemmed plants without spines, spreading out from a central point. These are thickly skinned and resemble carrion flesh.
Starfish flower cactus may produce amazing five-petaled flowers that exude a rather unpleasant odor. The scent attracts flies and other insects, which pollinate the blooms. Flowers are red to brown and may be mottled with a couple of colors.

Starfish or sea stars are star-shaped echinoderms belonging to the class Asteroidea . Common usage frequently finds these names being also applied to ophiuroids, which are correctly referred to as brittle stars or basket stars. Starfish are also known as asteroids due to being in the class Asteroidea. This one was seen on the Beach at Withernsea ..
Some interesting facts: sea stars are not fish; there are thousands of sea star species; not all starfish have four arms; they can regenerate arms; they are protected by armour; they don't have blood; they eat with their stomachs inside out; they have eyes,...

Who likes starfish? I took this shot out on the west coast of New Zealand's South Island. It might look like a placid location, but the sand flies here were horrendous. I could hardly even get any shots off without getting eaten alive by those little devils. But on a positive note, the sand flies were the only bad thing about New Zealand! My buddy really reacted to them and the bites would swell and fester for a couple days.
Starfish and anenomes at the Montreal Biodome in Canada… The museum of enclosed ecosystems, located at Olympic Park, is home to 2,500 animals and more than 800 plant species.
Starfish Hill from Twelvetrees Range in the South West Wilderness National Park, Tasmania. Lake (fake) Pedder in the foreground with the Wilmot Range/Tribulation Ridge behind the Hill. Coronation Peak (1054m) to the left of the hill.
Perfect afternoon back in mid-June this year.

The lake was created by the still-contentious damming of the Serpentine River in the 1970's.
Full size so please make it BIG :-)
It was good to see so many starfish. Their population declined rapidly, and to extinction concerning levels, years ago. The cause has never been clearly determined. We were in Bandon a couple of weeks ago, and I saw more starfish than I have in a long time. Hopefully a comeback, which would be a very good thing for coastal ecology.
This was last night's sunset at Maori Bay. I went there with Mark and we saw a few other photographers there. I found out later that fellow Flickrites North of Auckland and Young's Photos were amongst them so it was a kinda mini Flickr meetup and we didn't even know it!

No glittery graphics or group invites thanks.
There continues to be widespread concern, on the West coast, of starfish wasting syndrome. Altho' a virus has been implicated, it is thought that there may be multilple, or combined factors that account for the mass die-off of stars.
On this unseasonably warm day, while I was really enjoying taking pictures at the beach, I was reminded that higher than normal water temperatures are also considered a possible cause.
Is this another sensitive indicator species forecasting further damage to the environment, due to rising temperatures?
I hope not.
Explored. Thanks everyone!
Art imitates life, and this applies to designer vehicles! This starship can traverse the deepest of depths and harshest of tides. Too bad its steep price tag leaves it above sea-level more often than not.
A rushed entry for the first round of #BioCup2020; a quickly approaching vacation and an onslaught of schoolwork unfortunately left me very little time to work on my echinoderm, but let's hope it's enough!

This is one of Teddy's latest favourites ;) He has tons of toys but since buying this for his Birthday earlier this year he has become rather obsessed! After a good session of play he'll flop down and rest with the Starfish still in his mouth...... he even falls asleep like it!
Oh and yes it really is like double the size of him!
