3rd time unlucky - a photo on Flickriver

3rd time unlucky

            1st time.  I was so excited the first time i saw this sea horse; I hoped that there was a family, that I might see many more of them, that I might actually witness the babies popping out of pa's pouch.
2nd time. A few weeks later we found him again in the sea grass,. He wound his tail around a rock and stood proudly at attention then bounced away on his wound up tail                            
3rd time. I think I saw him again ... in a cut off half bottle of coca cola; caught by a fisherman who was taking him to put in an aquarium.

If there had been a family then I might not have posted this for seahorses are endangered as they are much in demand. Many countries are involved exporting them. I hope not Mauritius.
