This is a terrific idea for a thread Bob. It was nice seeing many old faces and quite a few new ones last night at "The Dond." Here's my small contribution of more friends than lumpies.

The sunset was beautiful. This was at the end of dive 2.

The first dive of the day was filled with tiny nudis in the 10-12 fsw range.

Dive 3 was lumpsuckers galore. All of the ones I found were in the kelp and really small.

The white-lined dironas were so plentiful during the day I was guilted into taking a couple of pics. Kind of like photographing black rockfish.

This was the most cooperative lumpie of the day. Most were tucked under kelp hanging upside down.

I love these little guys and they were everywhere in the shallow cobble substrate.

Of course you can never get enough sailfin sculpin. The eel grass was infested with them but it was impossible to get a good pic.

And finally, I found one hooded nudibranch. The creature I was most hoping to see and he was in horrible location.
