Thank you for the welcomes... I have visited often but never had anything important to say.
Seahorses are amazing creatures but even better are the "leafy sea dragons"...
I happened to catch a traveling exhibition of sea horses and dragons at the Shedd Aquarium (visiting Chicago, live in DC) and fell in love with them.
