As a child along with turtles and dinosaurs, seahorses fascinated me. But I recently made a trip to the Long Beach Aquarium and discovered a creature that has blown any idea of what is Earthly from my mind. It looks like something out of a movie or belonging to another planet.
I'm talking about Weedy and Leafy Seadragons. I have some actual photos from my visit (see first two below - the last photo is actually a fish...can you see it?) and bought a watercolor of it for my bathroom.
Just looking at it makes me smile, gives me hope, and is a reminder that whatever we think our world may be can easily be blown apart with the mere reminder of the existence of something that most of us (I think) would have never imagined up in our wildest dreams.
