I just had a look at your site: Mystery solved! (And thanks for the link love...)<BR/><BR/>@ Kathy - It is hard to believe it's a year. And the feeling is mutual -- I guess we found each other's blogs, and that was a very good thing!<BR/><BR/>BobbieBNShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10709074385552082635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-76173450141553853012008-07-17T11:31:00.000-10:002008-07-17T11:31:00.000-10:00Happy Blog Birthday to you!!

July 15 apparently is a pretty good date. (I left you an anniversary message on your blog.)<BR/><BR/>@ scienceguy - Thanks. I'm a subscriber to your feed.<BR/><BR/>@ sunshine - Thanks for the info about the Buddha carving. Just amazing.<BR/><BR/>@ Shae Shae - To answer your question, those eyes belong to the big snail that lives inside that shell. It's called a "Milk conch" and it's native to the Caribbean Sea.<BR/><BR/>@ Baja Susan - Welcome to <I>The Right Blue</I>. I collect shells, too -- also the uninhabited ones. If they still have a critter inside, I "collect" them by taking their picture!<BR/><BR/>And, as of this writing, the eyes of the Milk Conch (the first photo) now is the favorite photo, with one more vote than the Octopus.<BR/><BR/>BobbieBNShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10709074385552082635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-83219708392583489672008-07-17T04:08:00.000-10:002008-07-17T04:08:00.000-10:00Living on the shore of the "World's largest natuarl aquarium" ( Jacques Cousteau), the Gulf of California, I relate 100% to your fotos.<BR/> I am also an avid shell collector ( only those shells vacated by their inhabitants ).<BR/> Gorgeous fotos.<BR/> I will be back to read.<BR/>Your fotos are gorgeous.baja susanhttp://www.mexicomusings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-30777510933340937542008-07-17T03:37:00.000-10:002008-07-17T03:37:00.000-10:00I like the first one.

We appreciate all of them. Thank you all for visiting to help us celebrate our blog birthday.<BR/><BR/>Looks like the octopus (the 'eye' have it) is ahead of all the others in votes for a favorite, but not by much.<BR/><BR/>Mary the teach and Pua made us chuckle with their votes for the feather dusters in the previous post. Well why not?<BR/><BR/>BobbieBNShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10709074385552082635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-29501289283092878702008-07-16T13:25:00.000-10:002008-07-16T13:25:00.000-10:00Happy Birthday!

I know how hard it is to get good macro shots of model trains, where you can control the environment. I' trying to imaging doing it in an ocean in motion.<BR/><BR/>I think I like the cone shell best. It reminds me of shell hunting, something I did when I used to dive too. Many years ago. I was fortunate enough to live in the Seychelles for a year.Randallhttp://modeltrains.about.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-18444524368769785312008-07-16T03:38:00.000-10:002008-07-16T03:38:00.000-10:00Just don't know what to write ! it's such another world and so beautiful !
