Puppy Center Makeover!

frankyrivera · 04/13/2013, 10:12 PM

I dont know if everyone knows but PC is undergoing some serious changes. They are creating a new salt water corner in the rear of the store that will be home to all kinds of livestock from fish to corals. I swung by today and snapped a few pictures so we can have some before and afters as they embark in their journey to make our shopping experience in this ever so addicting hobby better. Thanks Joe, Ron and the gang for all the hard work can't wait till its done already.

While I was there I took advantage to practice with my new macro lens since I only have so many corals to shoot in my tank lol. I snapped away in my pursuit to hone my skills at macro photography. Enjoy! The eye candy from your local PC lol!
