Slug snack

Bob, beautiful pictures, the Candy shrimp shots are great, Like Tom I still did not see one - always enjoy your shows..

Not your usual critter. In case you come across this, Google says - pollution is lurking nearby

Awesome! Even without the report. Picture worth thousand words ?

Hello Sparky, when you will run for the position of the Emperor of the World, I will vote for you. I like the Painted anemones too. Just be careful when you ask the tailors to make your new suit !

Slow day on Whidbey -

I hope the doll will not be made in China. Hate to be recalled in the very beginning of my new life as a doll

Meanwhile, I just keep on diving
Common, but beautiful slug on recent Safari ...

Diver Jan doll? You guys try to scare little children with something which looks like me ?
Seriously, I really appreciate your ideas and suggestions, maybe, just maybe with all the collective wisdom here, solution can be found. Thank you very much..

Maybe it is the new era for rockfish - the Canary at Keystone is also a new spot..

No, still there, I left him a note on the Possession GPO.

That is terrible. The downside of internet sharing.. Is there anything you can do? Contact Flickr ? Please keep us posted, this thievery affects all of us. How could anybody have the guts to steal and then rename the chatacters in photos to suit them...

It is simply a crime that these aren't collected somewhere in full size, for people to leaf through and marvel at. Imagine being able to purchase these images in a book at ... oh, say ... the Seattle Aquarium ... I think that book has a market ... ... Bob (Grateful Diver) if the printing wasn't so ...

Hi, Jan! Beautiful shots! The sand almost appears to be black - is there something in the vicinity that would account for that? Where exactly is Possession Beach? Is there anything else there along with the Sea Pens? - John Thank you John. Possession beach is on the south end of Whidbey, take Cultu...

Thank you for kind words. Enjoy some more of the Orange Sea Pens.

Thanks Nailer for saving me, that depth rapture is a terrible thing, after all, I am a married man!

Finally found Golden Dirona on Whidbey Island. Always happy to add another critter to my list of locals.

OK I have to admit that when it comes to nudibranchs, it is always love at first sight ...

Great collection of pictures, Tom, you are real pro ! Looks like you all had a great dive

It was a slow Sunday for me at the Keystone Jetty ...

I went back to Keystone and tried to get some more pictures of the new inhabitants there, the Canaries did not want to cooperate - got more of the infamous TAIL photos

From the fishes to clams. And tunicates. The fight for space and dominance in the rich habitat Keystone Jetty provides, there are some critters which are not as spectacular and colorful like some of the fish there, but I find them interesting, nevertheless. Presenting a Bladderclam versus White Glov...

Thank you John. As this last posting shows, I gain from posting too, as my critter ID need some help at times
So here is work in progress - the sometimes look alike Rockfish ..
Correction 1

Tom, you are probably right. The reason I put the "reddish" one with Coppers, is that I posted it once on different forum and was told: Quote: "If i remember correct the reddish coppers used to be considered a different species... known commonly as "california coppers" but h...

On my last dives at Keystone Jetty, I came across some strikingly different colored rockfish. Not hundred percent positive, but I still think they are variation of Coppers. The one in question, is the first upper one of the four pictured. :book: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1129/1363857490_9d6fc77...
