Hi. Welcome to Weirdbeautiful.

There are two links-of-the-day today, but first, I've put the "followers" box back on this page, so if you want to be able to find this blog again easily, please scroll down and click on the "follow" button- it's on the right near the bottom of the page. You can follow either publicly, with a picture and link back to your blog, or privately, in which case you'll be listed as an anonymous follower and there'll be no link back to you that anyone can find or follow.

First link-of-the-day today is this popular science book on sponges by former high school teacher, journalist and (present) diver, William Goodwin-

Second of today's links is this great picture of a tiger, diving- tigers are unusual amongst the cat-family for their love of water; however, you'd never guess that from the expression on this tiger's face ....
