omigod, Ken - Those pink anemones are so luscious! I'd love to make that image into a print on fabric for my bedroom curtains. Wonder if that's do-able.

That wee octopus is such a kick. I love her little eyes. Pretty sure she's a she because of that gorgeous fringe hat she's wearing. ;D Or is that another critter hitchin' a ride?

Thank you so much for doing these dives and sharing the fun.

Thanks nena! Let me know if you want a high resolution file of that pink anemone image, will be glad to send it to you. I'm pretty sure that octopus was a "she" also. She was obviously posing in front of that cluster of tube worms :)

Thanks, Ken. Nature is the one, true artist.

They are all great as usual. Love that lady octopus. She is fantastic.

Yet, my favorite is that young cabezon---it is the face---what a face.

Thanks

As usual, Ken, stunning.

Ken, all striking but Nena is right on. The anemone shot is more than a sea critter, it's a party. That little square is more than a place. When I find the words, you'll get em.
