Stingray Eye

Stingray Eye

Good evening friends, you probably noticed right off that tonight there is a different copyright stamp on the photo and the reason for that is my “Photoshop Batch” program is for some strange reason not working??  I shot this yesterday for you all, this is a close-up view of the eye of a big Southern Stingray.  I found this guy buried in the sand with only his eyes poking out at the one and only “Animal Encounters” located at the Curacao Sea Aquarium.  This ray was probably six feet long with his tail and to my surprise let me get very close for this shot, usually they swim away.  I think he thought he was well hidden under all that sand and that no one could see him, little does he know the outline of his body stood out like a sore thumb!! 
 
As of this morning our car is down again!!  Aimee came home from walking the dogs at 7:00 and said, “I think the clutch just went out” and boy was she ever right.  With the help of our friend Michelle we were able to get it a to a nearby garage but it will have to just sit there until Monday morning as everything is closed on the weekends here!  I tell you, broken camera, broken computer, now the car, geez where will it end, this is killing us!!  Our car has been great but I think it’s starting to go down hill fast, the motor is still nice but everything else is falling victim to our fast paced Caribbean lifestyle and the good o’l salt air!  Tonight we had to ride our bikes to the store to get some groceries and not sure yet how I am going to get the dogs to the trail tomorrow. 
 
Hope everyone is getting the most out of your weekend, you’ve waited all week for these two days so live it up!!  I smell dinner, talk to you soon, Barry
