Red fairy basslet spies Pattillo Armadillo!

You know my children's book character Pattillo is an armadillo and some armadillos can walk under water when necessary. Well, in this drawing you see Pattillo Armadillo trundling along through Red fairy basslet's marine neighborhood. Wonder if they spoke any friendly hellos?! I feel as if they did. Well, a nod at least.

A view: Underneath the Pond!

You don't need a snorkel to come adventuring Underneath the Pond with Pattillo Armadillo!

Romance in the Moonlight: Corals in Blue

There's a new study on how reef-building corals are inspired to rendevous in response to silvery moonlight--especially when it's blue-tinged. For a few nights after Full Moons, they 'get it on' and little baby corals are the happy result.

Moonlight Spurs Coral to Spawn and make romance!

And I've just discovered a blog on the books and work of Rachel Carson, called Rachel Carson Centennial Blog which reminds me that Carson was fascinated with grunions, a small shimmery fish that makes romance (okay--lays eggs) on California beaches at the highest tides of the warmer months.

Perhaps, like corals, they're inspired by the silvery moonlight!

Pattillo Armadillo arrives late

Wispy smoke curls from snuffed candle telling Pattillo that the neighborhood meeting is over and he's late once again.

Meanwhile you have a fish-eye's view as a falling star plunks into the pond and curious fishies look on...
