If it is in an aquarium and it swims it must be a fish!

Keep up the swimming lessons. Our son has always loved the water and swims, can I say it, like a fish. When he was 3 and having his first swimming class he was too short to stand up in even the shallow end. The teacher had the kids hanging on the side while she was trying to get one of them to float on their back. Dominic lets go of the wall and sinks to the bottom of the pool. The lifeguard on the other side of the pool hits the water, the teacher grabs the child she is working with and heads for the side, a couple parents start running and Dom pops up and says "Guess what Mommy, I found the bottom of the pool!" It seems that the teacher didn't tell him to not go under the water! That kind of daring was funny when he was little (and I knew he was OK) but it was scarier when he started driving!

Yeah Jayson is someone that attention getter as well. This kid is on touch cookie. He falls and it sounds like a bulldozer hitting a wall and every runs to him and he just cries to have everyone let him go so he can walk again. LOL By the way he officially turned 1 year old yesterday. We just had his party today.

Okay - the forum wouldn't accept the size so I kept re-sizing until it would take it and now you can't even see it.

Please help!!

Hi Rhonda

I use photobucket.com for posting photos. It is a free program that you just browse to the file on your computer and click upload. The computer resizes it and so you don't have to worry about that. After it is uploaded you copy the [IMG] code, which is a string of text, and paste it into this http://www.talkingreef.com/forums/contest-entries/ forum. You can't see any of the other entries, only the mods can see that.

Hi Gumby :welcome: to TR!
The shot of your firefish is beautiful. Unfortunately you don't have the required 25 posts to enter the contest. :( The rules are here http://www.talkingreef.com/forums/tr-contests/6075-photo-month-contest-rules.html. Please join in the conversations here on TR, ask a question, offer advice or share your experience and you'll soon have 25 posts.

Oh dang that's too bad. I have plenty to talk about, and am a fairly active poster. But I know that 25 posts doesn't take much. I have a new camera and take plenty of pics, so I will be ready for next month!

What camera did you buy?

I bought a Nikon D60. Still have a lot to learn about it, but it's being nice to me so far! I couldn't stand not getting great pics of my fish and corals with my little Sony point-n-shoot... so I bought the DSLR to hopefully get better pics.
