Under the Sea

Ugh, I have been having some serious computer problems, but I think I see light at the end of the tunnel (or does that just mean that the train is heading right for me?!)

In the mean time, I did make a return visit to the Crocheted Coral Reef exhibit at the Smithsonian Natural History museum.  It is just so amazing and beautiful, pictures don't do it justice, but here are a few:



I especially liked the white coral reef (the first picture above) until I realized that that part of the exhibit depicts coral reefs that have turned white because pollutants in the water raise acid levels that bleach the reefs!  I hope you get a chance to visit the exhibit, here are some sites that provide more information:  http://www.mnh.si.edu/exhibits/hreef/index.html and http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/How-to-Crochet-a-Coral-Reef.html

Ok, now back to organizing my files!
