Blue School – It is hot today. This photo is cool. A great combination (for me anyway.) I realize that it may cool or even snowing...

He looks like he is blowing a kiss (rather than puffing up.) He is a cutie no matter what his intention. Enjoy! #underwater...

Yellow Stingray – OK, here is a second pic, which is in reverse. It is clearer, I think. We have one opinion that this is a yellow...

Sea Skate – I am not certain that this is a skate. It could be a ray. But I could be wrong. They do have distinct differences, but the...

Sea Life Still Life- It is nice when you get the picture that you want. I wonder how many shots mom took to get this one. She didn’t put...

Superstorms and hurricanes must also cause damage below the sea. I am not a scientist, but it seems to me that damage to our coral reefs...

Reef Time – Time for a reef shot. I love the hints of red throughout the photo. Just love the natural pops of color. Enjoy!...

What a week this has been. We arrived home just in time to batten down the hatches for a hurricane. Watched as it hit the west coast of...

Fishing Boats at night – I experimented with the shades and tinting on this photo and really liked the results. The deep reds are the...

Each creature, mollusk, crab, clam or so on creates its own shell design. The shells provide protection against enemies, but even then,...

I love the play of light and shadow on this one. Light and shadow can change our perspective on a photo and life. Do we choose the...

It is interesting the effect the light has on our shadows. Mom did cast a long shadow for us to follow. She could be fierce and would...

A different view, a clearer view of the “helmet”. Isn’t it amazing how these shells are formed? Different colors, different shapes,...

Interesting name, emperor helmet. I guess the shape could remind you of helmet. But why an emperor helmet, why not motorcycle? Hmmm,...

Can a shell really be sunny. I am not sure. But it is sunny in the photo and there is a shell. I love to shell on the beach. One of...

Conch Shell – Mom collected shells as well. This is the beginning of the shell series. She may have been in Naples when these were...
