Sun Challenge #3 - Fish in My Yard

Fonts used - LD Ferns, LD Note Pad, LD Clown Fish, LD Garden Pail (all from Lettering Delights).<BR><BR><BR><BR>I don't know if you can read the story, so here it is again:<BR><BR>Two days after Hurricane Frances mosied through town, I was out in the yard with Benno after dark. Suddenly, something was flipping and flopping almost underfoot. Quick as a cat I ran back in the house, taking Benno to safety. I called my Mom on my cell phone (I needed a sidekick for this mission), and armed with my phone (Mom lives in Alabama), a flashlight, and, yes (*sigh*), the digital camera, I headed back out to the yard to investigate. Meanwhile, the fish (which at first I thought was a snake), was flipping and flopping his way back to the retention pond that I assume he came from. Of course, that’s at least 100 yards away, and I thought such a trooper deserved a helping hand (ok, this took a little coaxing from my Mom, who wanted me to pick it up with my bare hands). First the pictures – no one was going to believe this without a picture, and it was such a scrap worthy event, I distinctly remember thinking. Then I coaxed the fish into jumping/slithering into a plastic bag. I carried him (in the bag) to the pond and released him, another Hurricane Frances survivor. My mom stayed on the phone the whole time to make sure I survived. Whew, I had to lay down after all that excitement.
