Picture Of The Week - Need A Lift?

Here's a picture you definitely don't see every day (or ever). This shot, an entry in the National Geographic Traveler Photo contest, shows a marine nomad child hitching an underwater ride on a shark pal of his.

In case you're wondering what marine nomads are (like we were), here's the scoop: Marine nomads are people who live their lives at seas, on small boats, and rarely step foot on land. These people live in the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia but their numbers are dwindling. Click here to read more.

Pic Of The Week - Cat & Mouse

There are so many reasons why we can't stop looking at this photo! Maybe it's the determination with which the cat is chasing the mouse, you can practically see it in his eyes. Or maybe it's because this is the quintessential relationship between cat and mouse... always chasing, always being chased.

Pic Of The Week - Jellyfish In Space

This week's picture is one we took while visiting the Kansas City Sea Life Aquarium. It's a view of the jellyfish tank there, which we literally could have stared at for hours! It was so hypnotizing, and peaceful. The title of this post comes from the little white specks floating with the jellyfish... it really did seem like they were drifting along in outer space.

The colors you see are coming from the colored lights along the exhibit. They ranged from white to red to blue. It was a fun touch, we thought. Normally we only do one picture for our Pic Of The Week posts, but we had too many great jellyfish shots we wanted to share. Enjoy!

Apologies for the large image sizes, but going any smaller just didnt' do these pictures justice! To read our review of the Kansas City Sea Life Aquarium, click here.



Pic Of The Week - 3 Headed Giraffe

No, this isn't some weird animal mutation. It's just a great camera angle caught by the photographer! At first glance it seems that this giraffe has three heads, but once you look more closely you realize that it's actually three giraffes standing in a row.
