The Turtle Wanders

The turtles in Raja Ampat are not quite as approachable as the turtles in Hawaii or Lombok...I had to sneak in on this guy like a sniper...and of course, as soon as my camera fired, he swam away into the current leaving me in the dust...but I got him...with my camera, that is...

A Portrait of My Daughter, Kayla

I usually save photos of my daughter for my family blog, but this one was just too cute to not share with a larger audience...


This is Kayla and her friend Serina eating cotton candy...

Skywatch Friday - Singapore American School

Ok, I did manage to find a photo to post for Skywatch Friday...

I am VERY late in posting, however....I usually post my SWF shot on Thursday night...

I was in Singapore the past four days coaching a softball team in a tournament at Singapore American School. Of course, as usual, I always have my eye out for nice skies...

Have a great Friday (and weekend), and be sure to visit all the other great skies from around the world...

Left My Photos At Home

Since I have no internet at home, I have to prepare my photos the night before, and then make my blog posts at work...I had prepared a bunch of photos including my "Skywatch Friday" shot, but they didn't get transferred to my other disk for some reason. I came to work this morning to post my shot, and....none of my photos I had worked on were there...

So this reef shot will have to do for today...

Returing From a Dive

After a dive, I take a shower out on the pier, rinse my gear, and then make the walk down this dock to the paradise "above" the water...

Another Shot From Under The Pier

When we moored the boat for a few minutes at this pier, there were a few kids hanging off the side with their hand-made fishing poles...I peeked over the side of the boat and could not believe how many fish were below in the clear blue water. I grabbed a partially used tank of air and my camera, and dropped in over the side...the view looking up towards the surface was unreal...

The Seet Lips Invade

Do they look like they are trying to say something?

Fishing Boats at Low Tide

I can't resist taking photos of boats...I don't know why, but when I see them, I just want to photograph them...

The View From Breakfast Every Morning

Probably what I miss the most from my recent dive trip is waking up every morning, and seeing this view as I eat my breakfast...

Looking out over the water, eager to get under the surface, and wondering what exciting things will be seen that day...

Life should be like this every day...

Reef and Rainforest

An argument could be made that the most beautiful part of Indonesia is underwater...too bad only a handful of people actually get to see "under Indonesia"...

This is from that dive I talked about earlier called, "The Passage" where the ocean meets the rain forest...
