Before we get too far away from the Blackline Fireworm post, I want to share some photos of the Bearded Fireworms (Hermodice carunculata). The Bearded Fireworms seem to be much more varied than the Blacklines, often having bodies ranging anywhere from white to pale green…
This male Brown Anole was showing off for the female I posted yesterday…
I finally started messing with B&W conversions again, so you might see more pop up in the near future, but today I will share a female Brown Anole (Anolis sagrei), and tomorrow I will share a photo of a male (and you’ll see why that…
Fireworms seem to be a regular sight at the Blue Heron Bridge – both during the day and on night dives. I’ve seen Bearded Fireworms before (and I’m sure I’ll share photos of them soon) but this was my first time seeing Blackline Fireworms (Chloeia…
I’ve been on the lookout for this for a while now since we have seen some Common Octopus mating when I first got here, and there are plenty of them that appear to be guarding burrows like I would expect them to do when guarding…
It only took me a month, but I finally saw my first wild alligator…
I have no clue how this situation started… we happened upon this Honeycomb Cowfish (Acanthostracion polygonia) during one of the dives, and at first I noticed that something was hanging out of its mouth… or so I thought. I don’t know if the cowfish tried…

Alright! Another Friday and this week is a triple feature! Last week after meeting Rob and Jen at the Blue Heron Bridge, they invited me to join them for a shark dive charter the next day. They sealed the deal by telling me that there…
Frogfish are one of those really interesting fish. I got to see a couple in Bali, which reminds me that I still need to share the second one… Anyway, this Striated Frogfish (Antennarius striatus) sat nicely for a bunch of photos, but I still would…
So these seem to be the most common ducks I’ve been seeing around here… I guess most other ducks are up north right now.
The other evening, I went to the Blue Heron Bridge hoping to get in a night dive. Plenty of divers just dive solo at the bridge, but I try to be a safe diver and so when I don’t have a dive buddy scheduled, I…
All the bird photos from the other day came from a place called Winding Waters Natural Area which is about 10 minutes away from where I’m staying (yes, that was part of the reason why I chose to stay where I did). At over 500…
