The trees next door looked quite good after the area was cleaned out a while back. Now the cane grass has grown back and there’s not much to see there again.

When I go snorkeling, I often go by a place known as Viper Rock. It got this name because in this rock is a small cave that was often occupied by a large Viper Moray Eel. I haven’t seen the eel in a long time, but the cave often has other occupants.
On a recent swim, a Giant Porcupinefish had claimed the spot and it rebuffed the approach of a smaller Giant Porcupinefish several times (top photo).


Next day when I got there, there were two Giant Porcupinefishes outside the entrance to the cave. Several times they swam towards the cave, then came back towards me (middle photos). It was only when I shifted my position a bit that I could see, inside the cave, the shape of a large lobster (bottom photo). It’s just to the left of the top porcupinefish, in the shadowy cave. Clearly the two fish did not relish the prospect of trying to evict the lobster!

Not sure what these plants are, some kind of agave I think, but they’re in an enclosed courtyard that was getting the last of its afternoon sun when I was there.

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 221. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.

I doubt this Gold Dust Day Gecko was too worried about the shadow. For them, spiders are a tasty snack!

I was looking for shadow photo opportunities one late afternoon when I spotted this Pallid Ghost Crab on a small beach at Kawaihae. It fit the bill and when they’re stationary a photo is easy to take, but when they move they’re practically a blur!
