For the fishy side of #EarthDay, I've got this lovely longfin sculpin (Jordania zonope) that I found while scuba diving near Victoria, BC.

Earth Day looks different depending on where you're standing.

I've lived on three continents: Oregon, Okinawa, and now Kigali, Rwanda, and each place has permanently changed how I see the natural world. These six images are from that journey.

1. Proxy Falls, Oregon, a mossy cascade in the Cascades
2. Oregon Coast, Cape Perpetua in marine layer fog
3. Kerama Islands, Okinawa, a panoramic stitch of that impossible blue
4. Tomato clownfish, Okinawa, shot on a dive
5. Plains zebra, Akagera National Park, Rwanda
6. L'Hoest's monkey, Nyungwe Forest, Rwanda

Same planet. Always worth protecting. 🌍

Night falls gently on the reef. The sky blazes with purple, and I swim softly in the warm water, my hands gripping my underwater housing tightly. I carefully scan every shadow, every imperceptible movement. And then I see it. That turtle swimming peacefully. It's breathtaking, as always. These images will be the last from my shoot in the Maldives for the documentary series "Animal Crowds."

How I took this photo ? Canon R5 Mark II + RF15-35 f2,8 1/100 f10 Underwater Housing 2 lights

It looks like Saipan may be having a rough time with the super typhoon right now. Hopefully everyone is safe.

Such a beautiful island above and below the water. Here's an eagle ray from my dive trip there.

Pink Cheeks. Third Place, Up & Coming. "This was my first time taking a camera underwater, and was nervous but excited. My goal was to get a tiny nudibranch in focus, and with the support of my husband, Adam Martin, and our amazing guides, I quickly fell in love with macro photography."
