Those pics give us a sense of what we are trying to do in our glass boxes doesn't it!!
Those are not bad galleon but I am sure by your standards they don't measure up!
I sure do thank you for sharing a world we as hobbyist find so beautiful and mysterious. Johnny
Hey Chris,
Not bad for one of those throwaway cameras. Beats my ancient Minolta underwater 110 with the scratched up lens!(I don't even bother to use it anymore)
BTW,
the last coral in first series and first one in the second series appear to be the same as scatteredf small colonies I saw last month in the sea grass off the beach at Fort Jefferson. Some type of Brain?
The colonies I saw were small, about the size of a grapefruit, and in water as shallow as 2'.

Dick,
The last in the first series is Diploria strigosa (obviously a brain). The first in the second series is Dichocoenia stokesii (not a brain), both of which can be found off Fort Jefferson and Fort Taylor (Key West).
Chris,
These are great. And you were doing all that complaining about the kids. I knew you were having a great time.
Can't wait on the B/W and slides.

Horge, well, it is a heavily dived National Marine Sanctuary, so the animals aren;t as timid as you'd expect. Except, the fish I wanted photos of (snook, queen angel, midnight parrotfish, queen parrotfish, spotted eagle ray) wouldn't stay put. In fact, the fourth photo in the first set, you can see a female stoplight parrotfish that I chased around the east reef crest for 10 minutes, and still only got his rear half. Come on up and over someday Horge, I'm sure Jerel and I can hook you right up.
