Green Razorfish (Xyrichtys splendens) tend to be fairly common fish at the Blue Heron Bridge, but while they are easy to find, they are not very easy to photograph. When I noticed this one willing to let me approach it, I took advantage and got…

I am not sure on an exact species for these fish, but they’re a Post-larval Juvenile Trunkfish of some sort. They’re basically like swimming marbles and are fun to watch in the water (I’m sure they’ll make an appearance in videos at some point).
One evening I visited Winding Waters Natural Area and shortly after starting my walk, I heard a screeching sound. I could tell it was a bird but I had no idea what kind of bird. I slowly walked down the trail trying to pinpoint where…
I am pretty sure these are all Brown Grass Shrimp (Leander tenuicornis). See if you can spot which one is carrying eggs.
Finding a home must be a challenge for a hermit crab… You could end up with a much larger home than you need… Or some nosey neighbors… Or a real fixer-upper…
It seems being a adolescent Tricolored Heron is just a perpetual bad hair day…
Alright – as promised, here is the really cool thing I found during my first hike in Palmer Lake, CO. After hiking up Chautauqua Mountain, I was down in Limbaugh Canyon returning back to my AirBNB. At one point the trail runs right along a…
On Saturday I decided to do a much more substantial hike. It actually turned into a 15 mile trip that visited thee different mountain summits, two different reservoirs, and one natural monument landmark. So for today I’ll share a handful of panoramic photos from atop…
Ok – I took this photo yesterday when I was out playing some disc golf. I just couldn’t help sharing it off schedule it makes me laugh so much. Apparently they play disc golf differently here…
This is the third lake in Palmer Lake – the one in the photo from the other day is the lowest and is right in town, and there is another small one a bit lower down the mountain from this one. Of the three though,…
So if you’re not aware, my next digital nomad adventure has brought me to Colorado. I’ve traded my scuba fins for hiking boots. My first stop is a small little town called Palmer Lake which is south of Denver. And my first challenge was Mount…
And to round out Nudibranch Week, we’ve got one called the Florida Regal Doris (Hypselodoris picta) even though it supposedly ranges all over the Atlantic. This is actually two different individuals. Both were spotted on the same dive at Lauderdale-by-the-Sea with Laura and Carl and…
Today you’re in for a bit of a treat as I was when I happened to meet Dewalt and Evalyn (no clue if I spelled their names correctly) who if I remember correctly were from Fort Lauderdale. This was my 20th dive at the Blue…
Today’s nudibranch is most likely either Plocamopherus lucayensis or Plocamopherus pilatectus… or possible some other Plocamopherus species that is not listed in my ID book. What is throwing me off is that Plocamopherus lucayensis is supposed to have white papillae (little bumps) with black rings…
Well, I have officially left Florida and I’m on my way to my next set of adventures, so what better way to commemorate my time with a week of nudibranch photos. This first one was found near the Jupiter Lighthouse (I’ll probably share photos of…
