2 cats on a water wheel in Cordoba. The caliphs built the wheel to irrigate their palace. Queen Isabella found the sound irritating and had it removed. This is a modern reconstruction, clearly a cat tree. A 3rd cat is out of the image to the left. @bskyofcats.bsky.social

A cat sits on a shelf in the window of a florist’s shop in Cordoba Spain. When I stopped to make a photo, more people stopped to make photos of their own. catpics99.bsky.social

Spanish shawl nudibranch, with red rhinophores, orange cerrata, and purple oral tentacles. Rhinophores are like an inside-out nose. Eyespots appear below the rhinophores. When your entire body is flexible you can make lots of faces. Shot with film at Anacapa in 2003. 🦑

Octopus at Refugio Beach, in April 2010. I amnot sure what kind of octopus this was; maybe Octopus rubescens? Made with a very cantankerous Nikon P5100 with a Sea & Sea YS90 strobe. I was relieved when thr housing finally flooded. #refugiostatebeach #octopus #underwaterphotography #scubadiving 🦑

White abalone, at Channels on the south side of Anacapa, from the dive boat Spectre in Mach 2002.
White abalone are a listed endangered species. These days, this area is a desert. It's outside the no-take zone of the marine sanctuary.

"red sky at morning, sailors take warning" but our forecast here in Prescott Arizona is for cooler days, warmer nights, and none of the snow or rain we need.

I'm diving in a school of krill at Wycoff Ledge off San Miguel Island in the California Channel islands, in Sept 2001. The dots are actually mysid shrimp, but a marine biologist acquaintance assured me that they were the same as krill. #scubadiving 🦑 #filmphotography #channelislands

One of my dive buddies said that this flirtatious young sea lion looked just like Betty Boop. I photographed her in 2001 off Sutil Island, next to Santa Barbara Island in the California Channel Islands, with Kodak E100VS film in a Nikon F5. #underwaterphoto 🦑 #filmphotography #sealion
