The Sun Also Sets
Yesterday was the much-anticipated solar eclipse. And although we live a bit north of the ‘zone of totality’, it was still a noteworthy happening. And amazingly, it was a clear sunny day for this extraordinary event.

Pic of the Day – Doto Nudibranch
From the Bali files. This is the front end of a teensy Doto nudibranch, feasting on a hydroid. There are thousands of species of nudibranchs (aka sea slugs), and they come in a kaleidoscope of colours and patterns. Big nudis … Continue reading

Pic of the Day – Pen Shell Shrimp
This is a fairly unusual critter – so much so that it is not in my (older version) Humann & Deloach Caribbean Reef Creature ID book. It is a Pen Shell Shrimp (Pontonia mexicana), about half an inch in length, … Continue reading
Pic of the Day – Pederson Shrimp on Corkscrew Anemone
Pederson shrimp on a corkscrew anemone. Photographed in St. Vincent. St Vincent is known for coughing up some pretty weird and wonderful species, some of which are seen no where else in the Caribbean. I initially thought this might have … Continue reading

Pic of the Day – Stunning Sunset
Sunsets are always beautiful, fleeting things, but every now and then they transcend into the truly spectacular. This was one of those sunsets. Taken from the stern of a live aboard dive boat, in eastern Indonesia, with a yummy rum … Continue reading
Pic of The Day – Spinecheek Anemone Fish
My diving buds know that I am a bit nuts about anemone fish. I just can’t swim past an anemone inhabited by these cute and colourful little fish without trying my luck at getting a pleasing shot. They are frustrating … Continue reading

Pic of the Day – Alor, Indonesia Old School Fisherman
And now for something a little different. This fellow peering down at me as I took pictures from under his canoe is a local fisherman in the Alor area of Indonesia. These guys hand make bamboo fish traps, and place … Continue reading
Pic of the Day – Thread Fin Hawkfish
I have a scary number of underwater images in the hopper – three trips’ worth, truth be told. I have been sharing a few on Facebook and Instagram (you can find me there – Judy G Diver), but I have … Continue reading

Pic of the Day – Flamboyant Critters
After the deluge of posts about a trip to India, and then the rant about BC real estate, I’ve taken a little down time to take care of some stuff on the home front. But as I am now on deadline … Continue reading
Pic of the Day – Chain Moray Eel
Ready for my close up. This is a picture of a Chain Moray Eel (Echidna catenata) that I captured in Roatan, Honduras. This variety of eel can grow up to 24 inches long. Although I couldn’t see the body of … Continue reading
Pic of the Day – Sand Diver
As I beaver away on a new photo gallery and write up for Scubadiving Magazine about our recent trip to CoCo View Resort in Roatan, Honduras, I thought I’d continue to share a pic or two on the blog.
Pic of the Day – Damselfish
A break from the India serial blogging. After the amazing adventure in India in February with the ladies, Mr G and I were very fortunate to travel to Roatan in Honduras in March, to join in on a large ‘reunion’ … Continue reading

Palau BFF
Back from Germany, and back at my laptop. I traveled to Germany with just an iPad (and iPhone for camera – data roaming is stupid expensive, so I kept it in airplane mode for the duration). The iPhone camera pretty … Continue reading
Pic of the Day – In Plain Sight
I am working today on this month’s piece for Scuba Diving Magazine and thought I’d take a quick break to blurt a blog and share another shot from the Philippines trip – the library of images through which I am … Continue reading

Pic of the Day – Confession of Obsession
Okay, I’ll confess – I think I have a (slightly) obsessive personality. Fortunately, the stuff I tend to obsess over is generally pretty positive. I don’t obsess about my weight, our kids, money, cleanliness, nor, the biggie these days – … Continue reading
Pic of the Day – Yawning Napoleon Snake Eel
Man, two image blogs in a week? I am on a roll ;^) This is another shot I captured last Fall in the Philippines. On this part of the trip, we were still doing some land-based muck diving out of … Continue reading
Pic of the Day – Neon Nudibranch
Well, here I am again, after a very long hiatus from blogging. Last week I posted a link to a piece I wrote about a trip to the Philippines, which was just published in Scuba Diving Magazine. I had to … Continue reading

Throw Back Thursday – Hitting the G Spot
Thursdays seem to have become the day for dredging up images from the past. This past week I had a query from my cousin in New Zealand about the Galapagos, which he hopes to visit (and dive) next summer. In … Continue reading

Pic of the Day – Topside Tuesday
Okay, I’ll admit it, like many folks, I am a total sucker for sunsets. This one was captured in Grand Cayman, a couple of years ago. Today I was surfing through an archive of images from this trip that I … Continue reading

Pic of the Day – Squat Anemone Shrimp
Hey, it’s Macro Monday ;^) Despite the gorgeous weather outside (truly, this has been the most spectacular July in recent memory here in Vancouver), I am on deadline for my August photo essay submission for Sport Diver Magazine. So, here … Continue reading
