Description
Things have been very hectic with my wife’s eye so I have retooled an old posting. It is a 250 pound Grouper, taken at the Atlanta Aquarium. Hope you like it.
We spent most of today at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. Jo’s eye is still healing and they are guessing 45 to 60 days to go. The laser repair to her retina seems to have been a success. They put a gas bubble inside her eye, to press against the repair and speed the recovery. She has to sleep and rest on her left side, so the bubble, presses against the right side of her right eye. The doctors fear, is that the surgery will cause cataracts to form. Time will tell.
Wishing you and yours a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year!
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments.
They are very much appreciated.

Yikes! Jaws! ;) Excellent capture of this big fishy! :) I hope it all goes well for her. Have a happy new year!
cool shot!
Groupie grouper! Jo and you are in my thoughts and prayers for a successful operation
Groupers are such massive and impressive things! Kinda cute in a grouper-ish way. I have yet to score any sufficient number of underwater shots like this, which means that I don't get to visit aquariums enough, but I hope to change that in the future. In the meantime, I get to enjoy shots like this. I love that underwater blue color and the head-on view of the fishly person itself. Quite a nice glamor shot! I'm glad to hear that your wife's healing process has begun, and I hope that things continue to improve in terms of her health. I also understand about hectic schedules...mine has been insane of late, and at times I have no clue as to whether I'm coming or going: I thought only time travelers had that problem. Oh well...at least I get to see shots like this, and look forward to seeing all of the good stuff I missed once the weekend gets here. This is a great shot. I like it quite a lot.
Good luck with your wife's eye Dana. Anything to do with eyes gives me the creeps! I could never even touch my eye to wear a contact lens! I was about to complain when I looked at this photo. I was quite sure it was me and you had taken it without my permission...now I look its a fish....but the similarity is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope your wife has a speedy recovery. Happy New Year to you as well!
That's one big fish! Great capture, and best wishes to Jo in her healing process!
WOW....what a fabulous capture dear Dana, Marvelous one! Happy New Year to you and your family!

wonderful image!! Happy New Year to you and yours!!
This big guy looks confident! Hope your wifes eyes get well. A Happy New Year to you and yours!
I hope your wife recovers quickly from that eye problem, it must be very worrying for both of you! I know if that fish were looking at me that way he'd probably be thinking that he could eat for months if he could get that guy in here!
Cool image! I've seen Groupers in the wild, when I've scuba'd. One bugger was at least 350 pounds...a giant fish! But the daunting fellow was actually quite friendly to humans and inquisitive, too.
Cool capture!!!Very well done and Happy New Year!!!
lol!!!!!! cool capture :) Dear friend this year 2011 which is full of love health and work with your family :)
Fantastic capture of this beautiful fish Dana. I hope that all goes well with your wife, it must have been agony for her. Very clever what these surgeons can do nowadays. Happy new year to you both and your family.

Impressive, yet intimidating looking fellow...and I bet his name is Robert ! I hope all goes well for your wife, just tell her to lay off the day-time T.V. and Xbox...O.K. ? Seriously, just let her have plenty of rest and you'll have to be Mr Mom for a while ! New Years ~Cheers~ :o)
Great shot! Best of luck with your wife's health. That must be agony for both of you but hope all will work out in the end. Happy New Year to you and your family :)
He looks how I feel about New Year :o) Don't like it, if it wasn't for the dreaded fireworks I would be in bed & miss it :o) Lost too many animals at this time. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you & Jo, hope all goes well with Jo's eyes. Must be very hard just to sleep on one side. Tell her to take care, XXXX
beau portrait!!
Please give Jo my best, Dana and I hope that her eye heals quickly! Eye surgery, etc. kind of gives me the willies...although I DO wear contacts, LOL. Love this picture. These fish get SO big! I think it was in Florida where I ate grouper once. As I recall it was rather tasty!
That is one serious sized Sushi!!! Gosh - what a face! Hope your wife's eye heals quickly Dana! Best wishes to you and your family for 2011!
