THE FOX & TORCH

I thought that might be a good name for an English pub.
Actually, those are the respective names of these corals.
The rain has finally stopped here, but I know there`s some freezing weather about, so be careful, please.
Off to snoozeville.

REEF DIVER SITY

I really have to post & get some sleep.
Tonight, there are no linked images that are new. This is an older image of one of my reefs from a few years ago.
Get more sleep than I`m getting & have a great day.

KUNG FU

With all the rain we`ve been having here in "sunny" California, it should be a very green spring with an eventual green harvest.
These images are from a few years ago, I think.
But it`s all green, except for a few "Buckey Ball" geodesic style space station shots.
As it was suggested to me, I hope you stay warm. I, on the other hand will strive to stay dry.
Have a nice week-end.

MUSHROOM FARM

For those who rely on mushrooms for their laughs, I present you with a few chuckles of mine.
These are Leather Corals. Some are "toadstools", some are "fuzzy fingers". No they are not soap suds, although that is funny.
On Planet Earth, a lounging star next to a Turbina Peltata, a type of cup coral.
It`s been pouring constantly here for a few days so I`m feeling dampened tonight. Off to snooze for a while, then back to the valley on a project I`m working on. Images forthcoming on that project.
Stay dry, please.

PRIMROSE IB CLONES

This pinkish tan coral is a "Toadstool" Leather.
I thought that each individual polyp head on it looked like the Primrose IB`s that Olivia posted a few days ago.
In the foreground is a colony of Green Zoas.
The header is a panorama I made this evening from 5 images shot at dusk, through the rain.
On Planet Earth, I let you revisit the "Ladies Of Planet Earth", a collection of Horned Toad images from a few years ago.
Although I`ve relocated them back to nature, I still miss their funny antics, I observed while I sheltered them.
I`ve been 'up & at em' pretty early today & will be doing the same in the morning, so I`ll just get on with "Tony`s Tips"
Please get plenty of rest.
Good Night

BACK TO THE FUTURE

I took this rainbow this afternoon & put it above the native dwelling I see from my backyard.
You can also see my observatory access, (blue ladder) with the rainbow framing my place, if you click to see more images.
The header is a mandala I made from one of the rainbow images.
Over on Planet Earth, I have my baby clone, an RBTA that is taxing my ability to shoot it properly.
Once again, I have Murphy`s slide show in progress. I hope you have all enjoyed it.
For those of you in extremely inclement weather, be careful & try to stay warm.

BLENNY`S CHARIOT

This is Blenny`s ride. I made it from an Apple Snail shell.
I thought a funny image of this little clown would be nice to start off the week.
I added some other disconnected images connected to this one.
In the header, a sunset from a few weeks ago is linked to Sunday night`s one.
The linked images are a little more dramatic.
On Planet Earth, I left up some images from last week.
I hope you will continue to enjoy Murphy`s slide show in the upper right.
I`m leaving it up for those who have not yet seen her artwork.
Clicking on any slide show image will take you to her Flickr page where you can see lots more of her unique take on life, through images.
I also take this opportunity to thank Murphy very much for gracing my place with her presence.
Thank You Murphy

And please, take a closer look at the little things in life. You might be amazed.
