See what I mean??! justasiknow: A diver was almost swal­lowed by a whale shark while he was star­ing into the mam­moth jaws of the largest fish in the world that feed mainly on plank­ton. The breath­tak­ing pho­to­graph was cap­tured by pho­tog­ra­pher Mauri­cio Han­dler in the waters of Mujeres Island in Mex­ico.

oh wow, I wanted one of these soooo bad when I was a kid in suburban Phoenix, AZ, aka land where everyone has gravel-scapes instead of lawns. I thought I was going to make a MINT by making my own jewelry…from rocks…in our yard… …. Years later, I married a man who had one as a kid and understood this desire. <3
