Three Years, 400 Posts, and a Couple More Clownfish

Well - here we are. Three years and four hundred posts on my blog. Pretty impressive if I do say so myself.
So looking back through my photos, trying to figure out what I should share for this post, I really had a hard time thinking of what would really work well. There's no doubt that the photo below is one of my all-time favorite photos (so much so, that I have no qualms with sharing it again here)....
I also recently read an article about how underwater photographers have a love/hate relationship with anemone fish or clownfish. They're so cute (most species - I personally find some of them look downright angry all the time), their behaviors with their host anemone, their bright colors... it call comes together to make for a fantastic photo subject. Then there's the fact that they absolutely never hold still, and will take one of two courses of action when you approach - they will either hide or be a bit aggressive and will actually come out of their anemone to nip at you. So while they are great fun to photograph, they're also impossibly uncooperative.
With that in mind, here are some of the anemone fish shots that just get overshadowed, because (to be perfectly honest) I got lucky enough to nail the one above!
Well, there you have it. Three years worth of posts. Here's to three more (though I think a redesign is in order before that milestone).
Thanks to everyone who has stopped by, left comments, and above all complimented my photography!
