Chad and I headed to Anilao, Phillipines for two days of diving this weekend. The diving was off the hook. We saw 25 new species of nudibranchs. Ridiculous. The dive guide was our best ever. A great and rewarding weekend. Now back to work.

ahh, hah! A LIVING stargazer! I was wondering.... :-)

Love the mimic macro shot, the chromodoris robi (?), the blue ring!, the big mouth frog fish, and my fav: the composition of mom and baby bullocki was just perfect. You should put a print of that in Ethan's room! Glad you two had a fantastic time and saw so many NEW nudies!!! yea God!
