kja Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) Jane, CC, Kelsie, Monet - thanks!! Glad you enjoy them :) Woof - nah, I don't do much with them really. Had to thank some really bad divers who kicked up so much sand that I finally went to the top of the ledge to wait them out - I rarely check out the top of the ledge as I'm so busy with what's underneath. But if not for them I wouldn't have come across this Bornella anguilla nudibranch munching on lunch (how neat is his eye?) As I was waiting patiently for the nudi to move into a better position, I noticed this tiny funky scorpionfish about ten feet away. He kept hopping forward a bit every little while, getting a bit closer to me or forcing me to move out of the way And then the scorpionfish hopped across a little crevice in the reef to end up right near the nudi! It was cool. Edited May 27, 2012 by kja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kja Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Wow, you guys are too kind I know my work is OK; it's no where near NG quality, but I totally LOVE the compliment!! Instead of starting my morning finishing off the last of my pre-holiday tasks, I thought I'd wander through some files from a few months ago since I haven't yet had time to even go through them (how bad is that?!)

kja Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 Thanks again - glad you're not over this thread yet! I can't believe I leave in just four days to a new diving adventure - I'm so excited. Still trying to get through some of my backlog of images from recent dives so I'll try to keep posting some each day for a while. hermit tucked in coral flatworm swims away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piper Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Still trying to get through some of my backlog of images from recent dives so I'll try to keep posting some each day for a while. Oh no, what torture - to have to come in here and keep seeing new pics. How could you do that to us!! lol. As usual the pics are fantastic. I love the vertical school of fish, very cool perspective and must be amazing to be there while a group like that go swimming past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
