The seahorse is a small marine fish that is unusual in several respects. It swims upright, propelling itself primarily with its dorsal fin; it does have small pectoral fins on the side of the head that it uses for guidance, but lacks the caudal fin that most fishes have. These graceful creatures prefer shallow water, especially sheltered areas like coral reefs or seagrass beds. I photographed this particular sea horse (also sea-horse) in an aquarium.

I use my camera to explore the world around me and as a basis for creative expression. Because I live in Nebraska, I have a fondness for rural scenes that will be evident as you explore my images, but I enjoy traveling and have many other interests as well. I hope you enjoy your visit.
