Photos of birds, fish, flowers and miscellaneous things that catch my eye and instill a sense of wonder.

Play Well With Others
I just returned from the airport parking garage. Generally, the drivers are really nice and very courteous. Tonight's driver was rough around the edges. The dispatch told him several times to wait for 3 more people and he promptly left anyway. I barely got on the van by running to the door just as he was shutting the luggage area. However, 3 unlucky people had a long wait. It didn't help that the selfish-minded guy in the front seat was egging on the driver to leave, likely so he could get home a little earlier. The driver smelled something fierce and drove like a maniac. He looked like he hadn't shaved for a week. When it came to moving a cone out of the way from in back of one of the customer's cars, he just kicked it over to the side. Some people wonder why they can't seem to get ahead in life and never realize that their lack of social skills (and respect for other people) keep them from getting ahead. Everyone's got their problems but it's how we deal with them that separate us.
As for the fish above, as best I could figure out, he is in the Genus Rhinopias, the Lacy Scorpionfish. He looks kind of like a Rhinopias frondosa but, honestly, the more lacy scorpionfish pictures I looked at the more confused I got. While he appears to be pretty gaudy, if you put him in amidst rocks covered in red coraline algae and seaweed, he blends right in.
