On a recent swim, I saw this Peppered Moray Eel zipping towards me in fairly shallow water. My response was to start taking photos. The eel’s response was to stop dead, raise its head up, and give me a decidedly unimpressed look.
We held our positions for a short while and then I edged off to one side and the eel did the same, before deciding enough was enough and scooting to sanctuary under a large rock.
The idea of The Numbers Game is to enter a number into the search bar of your computer and then post a selection of the photos that turn up. This week’s number is 155. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
Stanhopea Assidensis is an orchid hybrid dating back to 1922. The flowers have a vanilla fragrance, though this one was a bit high even for me to check that. The reason it’s high up is that these must be grown in a basket as the flower spikes emerge through the sides or bottom of the baskets!

I liked this seascape, even if it’s really a fabric table covering.
A Stocky Hawkfish waits in a crack with a Rock-Boring Urchin, as shifting light plays across the water.
I saw this Northern Cardinal at Spencer Beach Park as it worked its way along a low wall and onto a picnic table. It looked like it had lost something important, but I suppose it was just checking out its territory to make sure no one else was trying to muscle in.
