A colorful composition that goes well with Steinbeck’s quote!

you keep him in a jar. This is the colour mine were. I couldn’t remember the name of the fish so I asked my son. He said the ones we had were called beta fish. For some reason I thought their name had something to do with fighting. Hmmm, the memory is a strange thing. Anyway. I’m quite taken with this image and it certainly has me wandering down memory lane or some similar trail.

A nice blue fish against the yellow background.

I’ve read that soldiers in Viet Nam would find these fish, fully grown, in the a puddle made by the hoof print of an ox. So it is not surprising that one would be happy in a Mason Jar. Nice shot, with nice lettering.

I think Beta fish have to be kept alone or they will fight, but it seems a little sad. They are really pretty.

How cute that you used the words from a children’s book. I like the point of view and rich color.

John Steinbeck and Dr. Seuss come from the same mold, I’m sure, Sherri. 🙂
