Sometimes this old friend seems like a long-lost friend.
Sunrise in Los Barriles.
And an evening visitor.
And a little more exposure. Who is that?
And a little reminder to watch where you step/swim.
And don't forget, having fun also means being aware! This ray jumped into the panga and scared the bejeebers out of this young man!!!!!!!!! Turn your
head and cough!!!!! Ateo - 4-22-2012 at 06:35 PM
Nice double sunrise shot. Forgive my ignorance but I didn't know there were sea snakes in Baja.DianaT - 4-22-2012 at 06:38 PM
Nice, really nice. Thanks. I especially like the morey eel, or at least I think it is an eel??
What ever it is, the eyes are great!BigOly - 4-22-2012 at 06:44 PM
Before this goes too far,,,,,,,, this is a very rare freshwater snake from an almost extinct fresh water lagoon in Baja Sur, Sea of Cortez. Yah,
Okay, my heart bleeds! And, like my Avatar's eyes ask, Why did you kill my mother?

ps. I haven't seen a baja water snake in a long time. I'm glad a few of them are still lurking around.DianaT - 4-22-2012 at 07:55 PM

I used to see them beached and in the water in Puerto Vallarta around a thousand years ago. Always gave them wide berth and I'm glad I did.
When I got back home I did some research on the type I'd been around and the books said "they have a very high degree of neuro-toxic poison in their
bite....very similar to a Cobra."Eli - 4-23-2012 at 06:44 AM

sea snakes

I have seen what I believe to be sea snakes quite a few times while snorkeling in the Sea of Cortez in the Punta Chivato area. However on a recent
trip to the caribean I was shown round nose eels which look a lot like snakes, so I could be wrong. The ones I saw at Punta Chivato were yellow with
black banding if my memory serves me.Bob H - 4-23-2012 at 09:32 AM
One comment and one question:
I love the owl photo!
How does one get a photo of a double sunrise?DENNIS - 4-23-2012 at 10:54 AM

The ones I saw were striped.....about 18 inches long. The fishermen were on the lookout for them in their nets as well.vgabndo - 4-23-2012 at 01:09 PM
I don't know squat about this, but maybe I'm fastest on the Google. The poisonous sea snake below is common in Baja and may be your guy.
Sunrise in Los Barriles.
