Keystone 5

Post by YellowEye »

Hi
I went up to keystone again today. The tides were good, and better to take a day off from work now than at the end of December which happened last year -- when I was sick! I ran into Jan, always good catching up, and learning more about the site from him!

Here were some of the captures!

Hydroids.  If you look closely, you can find a seaflea (I didn't notice him til downloading!)

Any idea of what the red stuff is here?

This was some sort of scallop (I think) covered in life!  After a while it closed up like pacman

Beautiful pictures YellowEye!! So sad I had to work!
The Kelp Greenling Egg hatching is one of the coolest things I've ever seen! Great job capturing that! :joshsmith:
That Pac Man one is so great with all the life covered in more colorful life! & I like all of those really neat hydroids, top snails & scallop! :partyman:
Keystone is so much fun! I can't wait to go back! :calvin:

You managed to get that great moment when Kelp greenling alevin leaves the egg! Superb shot.
As for the red stuff, I think they are Red mushroom compound tunicates and the pacman is a Lamp shell
It was good to meet you again, even when the weather above Keystone at the beginning of our dive wasn't the best.
Glad that the wind died down...

That fish egg hatching is a photo contest shot! What a cool, cool capture.
