Bahia Morro This Week

Alright the "Bahia Morro" is probably not going to fool anyone. It's Morro Bay, and it's not in Baja. But the two dives this week were so nice I can't resist posting a few photos.

Janolus barbarensis, one of the world's most beautiful nudibranchs:


This is Aeolidia papillosa. Look carefully at what he/she is crawling on:


Dirona picta, first time I have ever seen one:


Little sculpin:


Big hair:


California poppy:

Wow, great photos as always.

Great photos Ken. It's probably a safe bet to say that little fish has a long way to go before it's legal size. Oh, and I love that big hair!

It occurred to me last night that you haven't been posting the Morro pictures with the old regularity. It's nice to see you back, balancing the news and angst posts we've been seeing lately.

I grew to like that first nudibranch after I saw it in your future book and here it is again.

And yes, Paulina, the guy with the hair has the 50's look.
