Foxfish

Welcome to the Dreamyfish Art Gallery where the real and the imaginary meet and discuss!

Dreamyfish drawings make a distinct attempt to blend Capricorn realism with Piscean visionary abilities--because fish dream, too...

Up above, Capricorn's Saturn and Pisces' Neptune are in a dance of opposition in the celestial sphere while under the sea, Dreamyfish are dancing along to their siren's tune.

Here's a peek at a foxy Foxfish who's dreaming of colorful climes...Bodianus frenchii (Klunzinger), Recherche Archipelago, Western Australia.

UPDATE, Saturday, 3.25: Go to Living on Earth: www.loe.org to read or listen to today's continuing "Early Signs From a Warming Planet"...today's is a very FISHY tale about declining fish populations. (LOE has "retooled" their site...no links allowed. Is this bad karma? LOE is one of my favorite radio programs...stingy is not good!)

UPDATE July 29 2006 10:14 pm: Lim's Limericks has mention of a Bengal sergeant dinner if you can manage to swallow it along with some groanworthy political limericks!

But if you're a person who wears his political indoctrinations on his sleeve, avoid Lim's Limericks at all costs--sit this one out, m'peops! jc
