As often happens I wasn't prepared for my post tonight. Right after work my wife and I headed to the local aquarium/fish store to buy a couple more fish. I gave her an aquarium for her birthday last week, and soon after we had trouble. You see, one of the (friendly - community) fish that we bought turned out to be a cold methodical killer. One day after we brought them home one of our little neon tetras was missing. The first thing I did was look around the aquarium and on the floor to see if it had jumped out. I didn't find a dried up carcas with carpet fuzz on it so we thought maybe it was hiding. Day two, another neon missing. Still no proof of what was going on. Day three we came home and witnessed the unthinkable. One of the Kribensis (Latin for cannibal) had killed the last neon and was in the midst of chewing on it's remains. That did it! Out he came and back to the store he went. We took his buddy along with him just in case. Anyway, back to the original story here. So after work tonight we went and picked out a few fish to add to her tank that we know are nice and mellow. This leads me back to my post. Not having taken a photo today I had to quickly search the archives. I didn't have to look far. We were at a friend's house about a week ago when I spotted these juicy red tomatoes. We'll just let them be our contribution to Ruby Tuesday.

I know there are several wonderful blogs that have posted the magnificent glass of Dale Chihuly. Among them are Julie at Scottsdale Daily Photo and Meri at Photo a Day: Tacoma. Both have shown great examples of his work in various settings. One of Chihuly's favorite places to show his work is at the W.W. Seymour Conservatory in Tacoma. You may remember I showed you the conservatory in this previous post. Well, on that same visit I caught these colorful fish admiring one of his fine glass sculptures. This I present as my first contribution to Ruby Tuesday.
