A Great White Shark video always makes a good filler

Hope you are enjoying the rest of the summer at the beach, perhaps at Cape Cod?
The diver who recreated the “Jaws” movie poster photo (& others)
RichC | May 29, 2019
It is summer and what is more “summery” than being out in the sun and going to the beach … and thinking about “JAWS.” Yikes! Ever since the iconic “we’re going to need a bigger boat” Jaws movie came out in 1975, most people have been both fascinated and fearful of the Great White Shark. […]
A cloudy #shark in the sky filler photo for a busy day

The answer is … “no, I did not take or Photoshop this photo, it was on Twitter.”
The Great White Shark hunting from below #photo #filler
RichC | February 20, 2019
Just an ominous filler photo that you probably don’t want to be looking at before going for a swim in the ocean. The Great White Shark can definitely give you nightmares. EDIT 2/22/2019 with an image from a Twitter friend: Let’s just hope sharks don’t like the crunchy texture of surfboards?
Let’s go swimming … come on in, the water is fine. #sharks
RichC | January 23, 2019
A filler post, but not a good photo for those nervous about swimming in the ocean. The photos last week from a couple of freedivers in Hawaii swimming with a massive Great White Shark known as #DeepBlue really has me wondering just how wise it is to be that adventurous. There is a fine line […]
A face only another shark can love … or maybe not?

Just a couple of different #sharkshares this past week – they always make “attractive” photos for the blog! #NationalToothFairyDay Are we sure we want to celebrate this? pic.twitter.com/5jDE5Uf8Hd — Big Peg, Diva of the Sea (@MakoPeggy) August 22, 2018
When you smile, be sure to show some teeth. #sharks

Can’t go wrong with a Great White Shark blog filler photo … although it looks a bit modified (who knows anymore)?

Which beach will you swim at Volusia County, Florida?
RichC | September 6, 2015
Volusia County, Florida According to the International Shark Attack File (ISAF), a database for reported shark attacks, more unprovoked shark attacks have taken place off the coast of Volusia County in Florida than in the whole of South Africa – 235 in total, since 1882.

Are Bull Sharks the most dangerous at popular beaches?
RichC | September 10, 2014
Mention Great White, Tiger and Hammerhead to most people at the beach and they will usually bristle with concern or at least know you are talking about “dangerous” sharks. Mention the Bull Shark and NOT many realize that IF the minuscule chance of a shark attacked occurred, the Bull Shark would very likely be the […]
Is Atlantic White Shark Conservancy sending a wrong message?
RichC | February 23, 2014
Ocean and marine life preservation is a noble cause and something I’ve supported and have been part of since the 1970’s, but I’m not fond of sending misleading messages. The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy’s ecommerce “shop” website is using an attention getting image (artwork) portraying a diver swimming face to face with a Great White […]
When shark fishing, a picture is worth 1000 words
RichC | August 15, 2013
A couple fishermen with a dogfish (shark family) on their line happened to lured something a little bigger as they reeled in their catch.
Come on in, the water is fine! Can you say “feeding frenzy?”
RichC | February 11, 2013
It’s nice sun filled and warm day in Cincinnati today … although I don’t think it is pool time just yet. Would you like to go swimming with these “fishies?” (Click for larger) Photo credit: Photographer unknown

Just a few sharks off Florida’s Gold Coast
RichC | February 1, 2011
Should I show this to my wife (or hold back) before she heads out for her hours of long distance swimming off Florida’s Gold Coast? I’ve never seen that many sharks in one place and am surprised to see that many migrating in such tight schools along Florida’s east coast. [flv:Sharks_spotted_PalmBeach.flv 490 260] Pilot Steve […]

Ready for something different? How about a bedtime story about an Octopus and a Shark. Once upon a time …. Google Video embeds are no more, but here’s a “cute” subsitute photo link
