Swimming over a Stingray. Ah Spit.
I once saw a fairly large ray in the shallows in Pittwater near Sydney. Calm, placid, then a fish nearby startled it, and the tail whipped up and out of the water in a rapid reflex.
I've treated them with great respect every since. They're not the brightest of creatures.
I originally didn't take a shine to Steve Irwin. But when I saw him on a Wiggles movie, with the out-takes, I realised he was the genuine article, fair dinkum on and off camera. The little boy who never grew up. And never took anything too seriously, especially himself.
I'm sure Steve would approve of that one as a memorial.
He'll be missed,
Sympathis to his wife and two small children.

Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.
Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.
As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
