Animals I've known:

Yumi and I love animals, and I've scanned a few photos of our friends.

First, meet the homo sapiens who took the photos:

Yumi and Paul on the beach in Waikiki in 1996. The sea
turtle on the T-shirt Yumi's wearing is a harbinger of a turtle,
albeit a smaller one, we have at home.
