I rarely take shots like this underwater (I generally don’t do a great job with them), and I honestly don’t even remember taking this one… but it turned out quite nice if I do say so myself.
So I’ll give a little story with today’s subject… Iluh had mentioned a couple sites where she had seen frogfish before but for whatever reason we never managed to see then the first time I went diving there. So it was one of the things…
A couple more snakes I found while wandering around Jiwa Damai after dark…
Another whale we got to see during our cetacean (whales and dolphins) survey…
Ok – it seems I have an abundance of nudibranch photos, so here’s an encore performance (and these are all from the first trip to Amed, I still have a nice assortment from the second shorter visit).
Well, I’m now on Atauro Island and the two week whale and dolphin expedition is over, and I did get the chance to see some Pygmy Blue Whales. The internet connectivity here isn’t the greatest, so I can’t upload too many photos, but here are…
Ok – just as I did a three day jumping spider set, let’s do a three day nudibranch set. I don’t have IDs on most of these, but you probably expected that…. just enjoy the beautiful colors and patterns.
Up until just recently, I’ve only ever been able to photograph the little cuttlefish (I think they’re juvenile broadclubs, but I’m not 100% sure without my ID books). Actually, in all the dives I’ve done, I’ve only seen maybe 6 or 7 cuttlefish total –…
These cool guys aren’t too common on the reefs, but Iluh managed to spot a handful of them while we were diving. They tend to sit propped up on their pectoral fins and will gently rock back and forth with the current – much like…
Not the greatest photo showing off this spider’s colors, but I like the long shadow in this shot.
So the title kind of gives it away, but I found these things on one of the coconut trees here. I was out for a nocturnal wander through the gardens and I thought I caught some movement on the one coconut tree. When I looked…
This particular whale is an art installation in Utrecht in the Netherlands with the obvious intent to remind folks about plastic in our oceans, but today I’m headed off to Timor Leste to hopefully see real whales (and hopefully dive with them and get some…
