Big Mac Macro Monday

IMG_8717


Mac is the biggest fish in our tank, but he's a gentle giant.

As we watched him swimming around we wondered if he had teeth, so I grabbed the macro lens.

Well that answers that, better keep my fingers out of the tank, lol.

Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. :) MM started on Sept 29, 2008 - Thanx to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week!

  3. That's awesome (the picture and the discovery.) I'm a little relieved that it was a fish, I thought we were in for a close up of a McDonald's burger. Not that I haven't eaten a big mac... I just wasn't sure if I wanted to look at it that closely!

  4. I don't think I'm putting my finger in Mac's moth any time soon! :) I still am in love w/ that eye! I went to our Wal mart to look for the puffer fish but no luck! Now that I know they exist I am keeping my eyes open for them!

  7. Hi Lisa! I'm new here. Hope you don't mind me joining in on the party. Came to your site from a couple of blogs that link in to you and was wowed that you're in Stevens Point, WI! I have an aunt and cousins there. Grew up just an hour or so from there where I still have lots of siblings. Have been in Texas longer than I was a Wisconsinite, tho, but Central Wis will always be home to me...

    God bless you in your cancer freedom (I hope)! My oldest sis battled Stage 3 colon cancer last year w/ surgery and chemo. She's been cleared so I hope it stays that way...

    Anyway, nice to meet you!

  12. Mac definitely has teeth. great photo. I think if I could be any color as a fish, yellow would be one of my top choices. Cheerful all the time.

  13. His eyes are really beautiful and he looks like such a happy fish. I lost my tank to ICK this past week.
    I'm posting my tiniest flower. If anyone out there knows a plant taxonomist, send him a link. Thanks.
