What a great day today was! Little things like this shrimp on a "Leather Anemone" the baby "Lion Fish" and the "Emperor Angel" made for great dives!
I just took my wife back to Hawaii, she was here for a dive vacation and will be working hard to make another trip soon. Our really good friends were here too and I will get some pictures up from their trip soon.

This is the stern and wheel of a ship that is up North of us here on Kwajalein. The name is the Palapalawan and is one of the most beautiful wrecks we have to dive on out here.
She sits on a white sand bottom and is at the very limit of the recreational dive limit of 130 Ft. We don't get a lot of time on her because of the depth but when we have a full sky of sunshine, the pictures are exceptional. This ship had a full wood deck but the worms have eaten it all away and left nothing but the metal skeleton. Lots of Black Coral bushes and baby fish by the millions. A favorite dive!
Musings about diving in and around Kwajalein Atoll

I'm headed for Honolulu tomorrow! Going to pick-up my wife and come back out to Kwajalein for Diving and vacation all week. I also have two really good friends coming to Dive with us next week and we are going to have a ball. I hope to be able to include some new pictures of the crew while they are here relaxing and having a good time. While in Honolulu I have to bid farewell to a great friend who is retiring from the Navy after 23 or 24 years and returning to the Mainland to get on with their lives. I plan to have them to our house for dinner and make Thai food that everyone seems to enjoy. Not that I am such a great cook but the wife has to work and she likes my cooking so..................
More in the saga as the days go by.

I decided to play with the software I got from Breezesystems for converting my RAW format Canon pictures. Some folks might not like the result but I find them very interesting.

These Anemones appear to be lighted from the inside and that is part of what I find fascinating about photography.
