Those white spots on the nude almost look like barnacles. But they can't be. How strange.
Thank you for sharing Ken.

The eyes on the little guy in the first and last photos - amazing!
As always, you photos brought a big smile to my face. Thank you, Ken.

Great shots, Ken, as usual.
What is the green metal cross or X in the one shot? Is that part of your gear? Tripod base?

tehag
it was some type of wire mesh (epoxy coated, I think, based on the green color) that ran through and around the tube the fringehead was in. There is
an amazing amount of junk under this pier and all of it creates habitat and hiding places for the animals that live there. It was not a part of my
gear.

No, it was pretty typical. The visibility in Morro Bay is never very good, I don't think I've ever seen more than about 10-15 ft horizontal. But you
don't need much viz for this type of macro image, remember the subjects are very small and just a few inches in front of the port.
Muchas gracias for the kind words Skipjack, Diver, Natalie Ann, tehag, chino and Don Alley!! Skipjack the spots on the triopha nudibranch
are actually slightly raised - very unusual.

I like the red eyes on that crab! And, I think he is saying something to you. Again... Fantastic photography!

Muchas gracias Bob H and Cincodemayo. Cinco I used to do the contest circuit a long time ago when I first started getting some recognizable
underwater images, and I guess I did pretty well, but it was kinda bruising on the ego at times. Now I get all the ego I need from the nice comments

That's what I told my wife last night. All that junk in my bedroom creates a wonderful habitat for my current hobbies and projects. So please don't
tidy anything up.
Aren't the lessons from nature wonderful?
