I was trying to get a photo of a turtle taking a breath – harder to get than dragonflies flying – but I liked the sparkles on the water I got by chance!

Cruising cornetfish
I was coming to the end of a recent swim when I saw this Blue-spotted Cornetfish in very shallow water. Often, they’ll scoot away, but this one continued slowly into ever shallower water. The water was clear and the day sunny so the blue spots show up really well.
The Numbers Game #108
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 230. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
Shelter
I like to check out buoys like this because they often provide shelter for very small fish, in this case, a few tiny sergeantfishes including this one.
Ten years ago
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Ten.’ See more responses here. January of 2016 was the first full month for this blog, so I thought I’d post a few photos that ran back then.
Spinner dolphins
Near the end of a recent swim I was looking toward shore wondering where the line of breaking waves had come from. Then I heard a snort behind me and turned to see this pod of dolphins zipping by. I always like how the light plays on their bodies as they go by.

Pacific Day Octopus
This was one of three octopuses I saw together recently. I think this one and one of the others were looking to mate, but my presence was spooking them. So I backed off and they did indeed appear to be going to mate, but none of my photos turned out as I was then too far away!
