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).

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…
