My buddy Gina, (who I met while in South Africa) flew out from Florida with her husband Bob for a family wedding. Since Gina is a foodie and Bob loves to fish, we decided to take them up to Salt Point to go abalone diving. Hubby and buddy Mike went diving in some pretty nasty ocean waters. It wasn't the best weather to be diving in but they did manage to get their limit. Had a nice abalone lunch while huge ocean waves crashed down at the beach. This was Annie's first big car ride (over 3 hours) and first time at the beach. She had a great time sniffing everything in sight, rock climbing and hanging her head out the car windows. She was sound asleep the whole ride home. :)
Wow, she's beautiful! I remember taking our two dogs (years ago we had a Samoyed named Shemya and Hoover the Golden) to Sun Valley. While we hit the slopes to ski, the dogs stayed at a doggie daycare. When we picked them up and drove home, we thought they were sick...they crashed and snored the whole two hourse home!
Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.
I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987
