I spotted this tiny little isopod during a dive at the Blue Heron Bridge. The only reason I spotted it was because it moved, and I was surprised I was able to find it through the viewfinder, get good focus, and then also find it…

Just because who couldn’t use an octet of octos now and then? From Washington, Florida, and Bali…
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 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.…
Well, if you thought the Northern Shoveler from the other day had an impressive bill, then today’s post should be pretty outstanding. When I was in Florida, I made multiple visits to Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge as it was advertised as a location where…
Another video from the Blue Heron Bridge diving last year…
I intended to do a black water dive last year when I was in Florida and it just never happened. Luckily this time around I managed to get out for one. If you’re unfamiliar, black water diving is when you head out to deep water…
Finally working on getting the 2021 videos pulled together (while I’m working on collecting a whole new set of stuff). Enjoy.
I didn’t even know there was such a thing as a Yellow-crownded Night Heron. I had only known of Black-crowned Night Herons, but when I saw this bird as I walked along the intracoastal in West Palm Beach, I knew it was something different. I…
A Cattail Toothpick Grasshopper (Leptysma marginicollis) found in Winding Waters Preserve in Palm County, Florida.
A fairly tough shrimp to spot as it blends in so well with its environment, these Green Arrow Shrimp (Tozeuma carolinense) were always fun to find.
This little guy really isn’t supposed to be where I photographed it… Lionfish are not native to the Caribbean and Florida waters, but because of the pet trade and people not being responsible they’ve taken hold and likely won’t ever be eradicated from these waters.…
Bird photography can be really difficult sometimes. Getting close enough to get good detail, getting the right focus when the birds don’t stop moving for long, getting the right lighting (which usually means lots of light to allow for a fast enough shutter speed). But…
