I must say, that , although I like photo above, I much prefer a dreamless sleep, such a luxury!

I’m definitely with you on that; although dreams can be amazing, at times.

Sea creatures creep me out. Giant Octopods are really strange…actually…every octopod is strange! Haha. I watched a documentary on a giant squid and that was also slightly disturbing.

Electric eel (technically doesn’t live in the sea…oh well! Haha).
Mantis shrimp is also interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5FEj9U-CJM

I liked your drawing, Rose. I’m on the squid’s side, so I was very pleased with the way things were going in it.

Thanks BunK! Sharks need something to scare them — why should they be the only monsters in the ocean?

Quite right! Your comment about things that scare monsters makes me wonder, though. What keeps Dracula awake at night (er, awake at day)?
