Single cells, Single cells, Plankton All The Way....
'.....The variety is incredible and if you look at them with a festive eye you can see all sorts of things.
'Many people have remarked how certain plankton remind them of other things, so I've collated several pictures to make a classic Christmas card.
'The importance of these micro marvels in the sea can't be underestimated.

Friday Find: Special Edition
Since it is Veteran's Day, I thought it would nice to feature adoptable canine veterans. Yes! You can adopt retired military dogs. The organization that features these dogs and gives a walk-through on the process is called Military Working Dog Adoptions. The dogs featured include your standard Belgain Malinois, Dutch Shepherd, and German Shepherd Dogs, to a more eclectic variety of breeds that worked as detection dogs.
These dogs have done their time offering valuable services to the US Military and deserve a cushy retirement, so please consider adopting a retired working Military dog!
And of course I want to extend a special thank you to those who have served and are currently serving this country.
