Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!

Moi!

Thanks for posting this great work of "ahht," as we say in Maine.
At one time, I had a 55-gallon aquarium. Love fish. Love to fish.

best,

LOL! I've been staring at it for so long now the big fish in the middle(ish) has begun to move! :woot:

So relaxing to look at after a busy day on the road.

Do suppose if I cast a spent-wing caddis fly they'd rise to it and get hooked?

I could use a Roman hook. :cheer:

Hey, Andy!

Hope Legio III is planning on another Kennebunk thing. No finning fish, but hopefully fun. :cheer:

I'd love to have a mosaic like that in my courtyard (if I had a courtyard). Beautiful work!
