Ok – so sea otters groom their fur a lot… and with good reason. That fur is what keeps them warm in some pretty chilly water. But, if you watch them long enough and take enough photos at just the right times, it makes for…

In my continued effort to get through my archives of material I have yet to share, I finally put together a video of some of the dives in the sea grass which I dubbed “Barry’s Meadow” after the name of the eco-resort we were staying…
Ok – let’s get something out of the way first here… Muir Woods is a smallish “national monument” (I’m still not sure what differentiates a national park versus a national monument versus a national reserve versus any of the other designations I’ve run into) just…
Another regular sight on many of the dives in Puget Sound, the various species of Rockfish were always fun to see. I learned that some of them can live to be 95 years old! For a relatively small fish, I was quite surprised by that.
Alright – it might have been a bit remiss of me to not share photos of Joshua Trees earlier in my posts from Joshua Tree National Park… but better late than never, eh?
I’ve shared some elk photos from Rocky Mountain National Park… this herd of elk near Redwoods National Park (not technically inside the park boundary, but close enough) was pretty large, but the bull elk didn’t have the same impressive antlers, but still beautiful animals. Oh…
Taken during a short stop-over in Monterey, CA… this Black Oystercatcher certainly looked like it had plenty of choices and didn’t have to do much “catching”…
A regular at the Blue Heron Bridge, I am amazed I have not posted photos of any Scaly-tailed Mantis Shrimp (Lysiosquilla scabricauda) yet.
I shared some other photos from Kubota Gardens in Seattle, WA already… but I figured I’d share the rest of the set. Enjoy.
These little Side-blotched Lizards (Uta stansburiana) get their name from the dark patch behind their front legs, but the orange around their mouths and the blue speckles are quite nice.
I spotted this Newman’s Flatworm (Maritigrella newmanae) on a dive at the Blue Heron Bridge in Florida. I was just slowly swimming along and swam right over it and had to hit the brakes to stop and get some photos and video. We found a…
Friday Fotos will not be shown this week. Instead, we interrupt your normally scheduled programming to bring you the final installment in Video Week. Today’s video is the last of my videos from diving at the Blue Heron Bridge last year and to be honest,…
Alright – so I have to admit, today’s video might not be interesting to most people, but I find it pretty fascinating… so bear with me. On one of the dives, my friend Laura pointed out a long white worm with dark bands around it.…
