The sunset today was pretty epic… Purple Cascades, orange Rainier, and tons of color over the Olympics… Cell phone camera doesn’t do it justice, but here they are just the same…
While in Playa we went on a dive to see Bull Sharks, which was another new-to-me species to see.
While in Playa, we did a tour of mangroves of Sian Ka’an biosphere preserve. We saw several ospreys including a couple on their nests… and if you look really closely, you’ll see a baby in a couple of the photos. Our guide told us it…
Just a few from the ocean dives while I was in Playa del Carmen
When we first saw these wandering around Mexico, we thought they were capybaras, but apparently they are a different rodent called Agouti. They were about the size of a small dog (well, considering we were in Mexico – the land of chihuahua, they would be…
The first cenote we dived was called Angelita (Little Angel), and I’m sure it gets its name from the way you might feel like you’re an angel flying above the clouds. Honestly, it also felt like diving through a spooky cemetery in a dream. At…
Ok – this officially wraps up the last of my Madagascar photos… (unless I manage to go back)
I’m in an assortment kind of mood (ok, really I’m in a lazy mood and just tossing quick posts together with random assortments, but that’s not terrible is it?). These are all critters found while diving in the Pacific Northwest.
While we’re in the archives, I figured I’d share a few more of these…
Dipping into the archives for some posts and realized I have been remiss in sharing more of these star trail images I made. Enjoy…
Recently I went for some hiking in Mount Rainier National Park (and if you’re wondering about the “part ?” thing – I have posted stuff from Rainier before, but I didn’t label them the same way I usually do for NP visits, so I think…
Just a minute of drifting along watching the sunrays filter down through the water while a large school of tube-snouts swim above the eel grass. Enjoy.
Well, in another case of the difficulty in IDing nudibranchs, I’m not sure if this is a particularly bright white Shaggy Mouse Nudibranch (Aeolidia loui) or if this is a Pearly Aeolid (Ziminella japonica) as Ashley suggested it might be. The one thing that is…
Been seeing a bunch of these this year, which is nice because I consider them the 3rd prettiest ducks. I’ll have to keep trying for closer and better photos in better lighting to really show off their colors. This group started pretty far away, but…
I have no idea if “anti-sunset” is even a term… I am not sure what caused this, but recent when I was out for an evening walk, the sky to the east turned this beautiful lilac color while the sun was setting to the west.…
