While I apologize for the delay, it's time for the January 2014 POTM Contest! Taking inspiration from the Ottawa Sun's "felfies" (http://www.ottawasun.com/2014/01/07/ont-farmers-jumping-on-felfie-wagon), our President, André (ajm1961), suggested a similar theme for the first contest of the new year! We're asking participants to submit an "aquafie" which is a selfie which includes your running aquarium in the background, off to side, or even you in your tank if it's big enough - however creatively you want to do it.
Just a reminder, the contest rules are here (http://ovas.ca/forum/index.php?topic=47022.0). You can submit your photos until January 26th. Good luck to all participants! We're looking forward to seeing your "aquafie" photos! :)

Yah hiding behind all the acropora lol

Hey "fish selfies" are the hottest trend!!
Former Alaska governor and aspiring reality TV star Sarah Palin has a message for the young women of America: Stop taking selfies in the mirror -- take them with a fish instead!
"I think this world would be better off having more young women holding a fish in a picture than holding their camera in front of a bathroom mirror, talking a selfie."

Of course, here we want LIVE FISH selfies!! (or corals, plants - anything aquarium)
Feel free to include other members of the family or even another pet in front of that great glass box!
I'll be posting mine soon!! :P
Finally = here's my daughter Chloe just eating up my hobby!!
I guess we have a lot of bashful hobbyists!
So much for trying something different... we tried!
OK - this wraps up the January POTM, we will start up the February POTM soon. We're just working out some details, which will include a $10 gift certificate to the winner! So stay tuned.
Thanks to Errol and my daughter Chloe for participating in the January POTM.
They were both lovely pictures, if I do say so myself!
Let's call it a tie shall we?
