TIP: Squirrelfish!

Early morning swims are definitely the time to see these guys! Clicking is probably worth your while.





Another exciting find for me was this needlefish! It really is quite a small fish.



I liked the way you see the early morning sun break through the water in this shot.



Also, last evening we had time for a trip to Books & Books!

P.S. Yesterday Danielle in Iowa in Seattle asked how squirrelfish got their common name. There are some odd suggestions on teh interwebs (big eyes like squirrels, red colour like red squirrels) but the answer that seems most likely is that in fact they "bark" rather like squirrels. If you go here and scroll down you can hear what one sounds like.

The needlefish looks so big in the photos! I have no sense of the scale of its surroundings!
