A neighbor’s flowers only bloom in the spring, but when they do they really go big!

Nice Chompers!
Look at those pearly whites! I’d hate to have to brush all those crazy teeth, but this whitemouth moray eel doesn’t seem to have an issue keeping them looking sharp. They seem vicious since they are always opening and closing their mouths, but they do that to breathe. This one let me and my camera get quite close for a photo.
Hiking in the Rain
Hiking in the rain can be fun. Sure you get wet. Sure you worry about your photography gear. Maybe you sink your shoes in the mud. You can also be rewarded with not only wildflowers but also raindrops that are well placed on their petals.
Coastal Succulent
Succulents are all the rage for low maintenance gardens these days, but I’ve never seen one with quite this color combo before! A quick hike at Point Lobos State Park led me to some rocks covered with this stuff. I focused close to it to highlight the contrasting red and blue colors.
A Bee’s Work is Never Done
This bee was working all day, and still had more pollen to collect. You can see it covering his legs as he continues on performing his one duty for the day.
White Buds
The colors behind have already popped, but these white buds are holding out a little while longer before showing off their flowers.
The Secretary Blenny
This tiny blenny kept sticking his head out looking for food, and didn’t seem to care that I was pointing a camera at him. I couldn’t help but think that his expression was saying “Whatchu lookin’ at” the whole time I was taking pictures of him.
The Pea
This little guy is about the size of a pea, and very hard to find in the great big ocean. This juvenile trunkfish will grow up to be something completely different, but now he is basically a floating pea. He also doesn’t like to hold still very long to have his picture taken! I saw him while diving recently on the West End Wall in Roatan.
