Often bewildered but trying to remain openhearted.
May we all find a few moments of carefree ease, just like this wee hooded nudibranch.

I can't get enough of these sweet white-and-orange-tipped nudibranch lovelies these days.

I was so enamoured with the painted anemone that I didnβt even notice the cute little kelp crab sitting on the sea star when I snapped this photo.

Lucky to spot this sweet white-and-orange-tipped nudibranch on a nearby ferry piling yesterday. They're dreamy-looking.

Cozumel's splendid toadfish are so delightfully weird.

Honestly, I could gaze into porcupinefish eyes for all of eternity.

Who cares about the return of orca salmon hats -- this little Monterey dorid is trying to revive the lost art of flagpole sitting and I'm here for it!

Oh goodie, the retired generals and orthopaedic surgeons have arrived already. Has anyone started a loverboy block list yet?

MBARI researchers have discovered a remarkable new species of sea slug in the deep sea. Nicknamed the "mystery mollusc," the nudibranch Bathydevius caudactylus swims through the midnight zone and lights up with brilliant bioluminescence. Learn more:

Bumped into a sweet hooded nudibranch this afternoon on a very crappy vis swim around Dyer Rocks in the Saanich Inlet. Not the greatest photos because of the particulate in the water but I do adore these nudis.

Hooray hooray for

. A few recent ones from around the Saanich Peninsula: Monterey sea lemon, clown dorid, and a sweet little Hudson's horned dorid. Yay

Had a wonderful first-time roam around Iron Mine Bay this morning. Excellent visibility of 6-7m at the start and still 4ish metres by the end. This area is teeming with all sorts of goodies. Yay nature, yet again.
