OK, everyone, let me know  - Is this a brittle star fish?  I’m just not sure this morning.  Thanks and enjoy your Friday and weekend!...

There is a favorite story that I found in Chicken Soup for the Soul years ago and it has always reminded me of my mom. I’ll paraphrase as...

I must be hungry because that title sounds like an entrée at a undersea restaurant.  Well, we aren’t going to eat our lovely flamingo...

Have I reverted to Halloween?  Is it strange for me to see the beauty and still be a bit creeped out at the same time?  Enjoy!...

A Flamingo Tongue Snail to finish off the week. Happy Friday everyone. I hope you get to dive and/or snorkel this weekend and have lots...

I debated posting this one, but I liked the motion in the blue background so decided, yes. Someone scared this little guy so you don’t...

All God’s creatures have a beauty of their own. It never ceases to amaze me on the variety and beauty that is found in nature. I wish...

Another sighting! Mom was a good flamingo tongue hunter. She seems to have had an eye for them. Enjoy! #underwater #underwaterlife...

Here is a close-up from yesterday’s post of the duo Christmas Trees. Told you I couldn’t get enough of the Christmas trees. I love the...

O Christmas Tree (worm). Oh, how I love seeing you. I just can’t get enough Christmas Tree worms, need more Christmas tree worms. I...

This snail has pulled in its beautiful “slip”. It may have felt it was under attack (hopefully, not by my mom taking the photo). It was...

This could be a wonderful home for a clown fish - if they lived in this ocean. Alas, they do not (or so I’m told by Google.) I have seen...

Let’s start the month of December with a photo of purple feather duster worms. They are so beautiful, ethereal and seemingly fragile. I...
