So glad I made it home for Mardi Gras. Been a long time. Spending with my little brother and niece makes it even better. Can't wait for the parades to start. #mardigras #neworleans #neworleansculture #treme (at New Orleans, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co7nIfWO0vw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If I could, I would only travel on #amtrak. The view from the train is incredible, and I'm not even outside of Arizona yet. 🌝🚆 #amtraktrain #vacation #travelphotography #travel (at Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co0JWd0PxUj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My Bluegrey Johanni Mbuna (fish) is a new mom. I stripped the fry from her this evening. All her fry are free swimming with no yoke sac so I added them to my 10 gallon fry tank. My Jalo Reef Mbuna had her fry last week. All the little fishes are happily swimming and getting along. #mbuna #aquariumhobby #fishbreeder (at Phoenix, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfvMIzBL11-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
