The warmly cool, clear, ringing, perfumed, overflowing, redundant days, were as crystal goblets of Persian sherbet, heaped up – flaked up, with rose-water snow. — Herman Melville

Hi Diana,
I love your exquisite photos, I’m in awe of their subjects’ beauty. Had to show them to my granddaughters and they downloaded them, too.
Extraordinary shapes and colors, almost unreal, magic and unforgettable, thank you so much for your work in the mud!!!
Hi Herbie! You really SAW and felt these and that’s what I was so hoping for! And that your granddaughters did, well that doesn’t surprise me – kids’ imaginations are as free as nature’s designs! This makes me very happy!
Here we are sitting in Liam and Haley’s house in Richmond, NZ looking at the latest batch of photos on the big screen. Ooing and Ahhing in amazement at the dazzling colour and minute size of these amazing specimens.
We love chatting with you when we can. Let us know when it is convenient once we get home to Aus on Thursday June 26th.
Absolutely gorgeous macro work Diana! I know how tiny some of these are! Love that blue mushroom looking… anemone? Such beautiful unusual creatures – colors are extraordinary! Squid never looked so beautiful! I saw my first cuttlefish in Raja… adore them, and squid. (Not to eat! Lol) Happy bubbles!
Hi Kammie, I was hoping you’d get a chance to see these, since you’ve been in Raja waters and will particularly appreciate the contrast in seascape! I’ve chased squid around during daylight hours and only had marginal success getting them to stick around, but they were pretty intrigued by my focus light. After witnessing innumerable squid boat platforms, it’s hard to imagine a sustainability ethic being in place, and now, I agree, I can’t eat them anymore.
Exquisite! I can see why you’re addicted to exploring this magical underwater world. Thank you for sharing and capturing these amazing experiences. I can only imagine what it’s like!❤️😍
Hi Kim, I always think of you as a lover of color, so it makes me happy that you’ve seen these! I am definitely going to have to balance the mucky muck with some gloriously vibrant reefs in my upcoming posts, but it’s interesting that so many of these mimicking characters prefer to live in the gloop? I guess it’s all about basic needs being met: food security, safety, and some company. We’re all pretty much the same.

Hi fam! We will most definitely get in touch and just love that you all found the time to take a DIVE along with us! This planet astounds me!
