This is one of my favorite times of the day. After supper my husband goes to take his shower and I feed all my aquariums them as the fish eat i sit in my recliner in front of my saltwater tank and watch them. No TV on no people talking just a few minutes of peace and quiet.

What is that bottom picture? And do you have a normal non feeding picture? It reminds me of those puff ball mushrooms that blow spores when you step on them :face-with-tears-of-joy:
