Kim watched the release of a rehabilitated loggerhead sea turtle there a few years ago. She "adopted" him and followed his radio tracking information for months!
|
While Kim Harrell was visiting the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center in March 2014, it was nice and quiet, so she sat on the bench at the exhibit and sketched some sea turtles for us! Kim used photos she took of Virginia Aquarium's exhibits so she could paint them when she illustrated a sea turtle article for Chesapeake Bay Magazine.

Heather Elliott and Fred Ingram took their Fundanas to TWO PLACES AT ONCE while visiting Iceland in August 2013. They are standing exactly where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet.

Lisa would think this is VERY COOL, so it's such a fitting way to honor her.

Betsy, who lives in Excelsior, MN, LOVES her Fundana, according to her "mom" Sue Craig. Is Betsy really as sweet and innocent as this picture would suggest, or is there a little bit of deviousness in her eyes? In any event, she's adorable in this August 2013 pic!

All the German knights are wearing them! Lisa's Fundanas are the latest craze in Medieval wear. Here, Lisa's Dad poses with a knight in Heidelberg, Germany, in July 2013. The Fundana softens the full body armor look and really sets off his eyes (if only you could see them).

We've laughed about that for 20 years!
