Though now all of these show the namesake blue coloration in their gills, and none of them are giving the more impressive threat display that pikeblennies are somewhat famous for, these Bluethroat Pikeblennies (Chaenopsis ocellata) appeared at the Blue Heron Bridge one day and were…
On a hike outside of Nederland, Colorado, I was on the lookout for elk or moose… the trail was going downhill and then turning to the left and back uphill with an area further down the hill that was somewhat open and looked like good…
These Curly-tailed Lizards were fairly prolific in the area I was staying in West Palm Beach / Riviera Beach in Florida. Unfortunately, they were almost always too quick to get decent photos of until I came across this one at Okeeheelee Park and it seemed…
Another stop on my drive from Florida to Colorado was Milford State Park in Kansas. This was supposed to be the fourth night of camping, all of which I had hoped would afford me the opportunity to do some timelapse photography. Unfortunately, rain and just…
Fourmile Falls is a little bit of a misnomer… the falls are only three miles in on the trail… but I guess it is named that because the creek is Fourmile Creek. Anyway, I photographed this waterfall on a hike outside of Pagosa Springs and…
On the suggestion from my friend Dawn (who was super helpful with suggestions during my time in Colorado), Rich and I backpacked into Rattlesnake Canyon for one night. Actually, I guess I should back up the story a little bit right there… We originally were…
As promised, some alpine flowers and plants. I was surprised to see the succulents up there, but I found them really cool.
Alright, kind of a weird post here… and I normally am not one to do this much post processing on photos – either they are good in the camera or they get deleted. I mean sure, sometimes if the subject is really good I’ll do…
Ok – technically this is not truly a nudibranch… but most people call all of these things nudis, so I’m being a bit flexible here. Anyway, I’ve recently been thinking about diving (pun intended) into my archives and sharing some photos that have not yet…
An earlier stop on my drive to Colorado was a night in the Okeefenokee Swamp in Steven C. Foster State Park in southern Georgia. It is listed as a great place to view the stars because of its remoteness and lack of light pollution –…
I only managed this one shot of this squid during a night dive. By the time I managed to get this shot I realized I was a bit too close and I wanted to slightly reposition my strobes… I looked down at my camera to…
Finally got around to putting together another two weeks of dive videos from the Blue Heron Bridge.
During my drive from Florida to Colorado, I passed through St. Louis and figured I might as well stop at the Gateway Arch. Thankfully it wasn’t crowded and I took a handful of photos, though oddly enough the one I like best was a quick…
Geographic Seahare (Siphonota geographica) are related to nudibranchs, are generally a bit larger than most nudis, and they have not quite abandoned the shell of their snail ancestors but rather have kept it internally.
I honestly didn’t do very good at taking advantage of photographing sunrises very much. I often would try to get to places close to sunrise both to avoid the hottest part of the day and to catch the morning shift of wildlife, but rarely was…
