Well, looks OK in lynx. The HTML isn't the best I've seen, but not
the worst either - I think it might even pass validation.

Except for one thing. Your editor is turning spaces in your pics
into non-breaking spaces (char 160 in ISO-8859-1). This in itself
isn't so bad, just unnecessary, but then the editor perversely
insists on using the named entity   instead of the character
itself.

This does very, very, very bad things to the size of your page.
Here's one of your pictures as it is in the HTML source:

           (~)(~)(~) 
           '|''|''|'
           \|/\|/\|/
          [~~~~~~~~~]
           |~~~~~~~|
Irises     |_______| ldb                                              

There are much worse ones than this, but they didn't fit well in 80
columns. Fix them!
