Snorkel around St Austell yesterday. The sea is still surprisingly cold at 13 degrees Celsius. Did start feeling this towards the end of the dive. Little bit murky on the surface but very pleasant to be out nonetheless. Not many fish but a few jellies around and a fair few hydromedusae. #snorkel #staustell #crystaljellyfish #bluejellyfish #compass #jellyfish #hydromedusae #lobster #Wrasse #Cornwall #sealife

Sixbar Wrasse

Still my favorite fish! These guys would often come in real close and circle me. At 85mm it was often too close to focus, but loved the challenge and the details I could capture from a sharp photo!

Alright, two more days of pixel stretching! Thanks for following along!

Saddle Wrasse

This fish is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands.

I have so many underwater photos I've never posted, kind of overwhelming!

That eye. That posture. That name.

The Slippery Dick (Halichoeres bivittatus) is a western Atlantic wrasse with a lot going for it, not least of which is being completely impossible to hold onto. New profile at Cernunnos Foundation.

Hawaiian Word of the Day: August 13th

Our Hawaiian Word for today is a beautiful Oʻahu place name, Kaʻaʻawa. It is often used as an example of a Hawaiian word with so many vowels in a row. But if you spell and pronounce it correctly, you will note that every vowel is separated by a consonant sound, the glottal stop or ʻokina. And it means the wrasse fish.
