Rommel

This is Rommel. He’s a Betta fish.

He’s also logged more traveling miles than many people – in a Rudy’s BBQ cup.

I am back in Austin, somehow reveling in the fact that there is a plethora of things to photograph down here and that story ideas keep popping up in my head like the little bugs that seem to be everywhere.

At this rate, who knows what the next ten months will bring.

Back to Rommel. He made the trip up to Colorado with me on a whim; I thought I would stay awake more easily if I had some company. Peeking down into a plastic cup to see if my fish had died proved to be a good distraction. When I was packing to make the trip back to ATX it was decided that since he had made the trip up to Colorado it was only fair to see if he could make it to Texas.

As you can see from this picture, taken last night, he made it and is happily chillin’ in his tank.

And the fact that my Betta fish has more road miles under his belt than some of the people I see makes me grin.
