Seahorses

There is a small aquarium room as the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson. It was not open when we first entered the museum; it was on out ‘must see’ list since it had been added to the museum since out last visit. The seahorse tank drew my attention. There were two different kinds and they clung to the water grasses with their tail or gracefully drifted to a neighboring plant. They seemed alert but never hurried or nervous.

When I got home, there was a picture on The Scientist website showing how the seahorse’s bony plates are configured to make it hard yet flexible. That serendipity prolonged my ‘Zen of the seahorse’ thoughts!
