Comin’ Atcha
(Mimic Octopus photos) During the week we were in Lembeh, I learned to spot the mimic octopus. What probably surprised me most about the mimic was its diminutive size; in life, this octopus is only about the size of an adult male’s hand — not at all the size that a Caribbean diver might assume from the photos we all have seen.

Blue Rings
Close-up photos of a tiny blue-ringed octopus in the Lembeh Strait, together with the story of how our guide found it: My guide extended his (bare) finger and gently tapped on a small protuberance on the rock below us. The thing was no bigger than my thumb.

Caribbean Cruise, Thanksgiving 2009
I have finally been able to finish uploading the photos from our Caribbean Cruise last fall. At Thanksgiving Nancy and I went with a bunch of folks on a Cruise on the Holland America Line’s MS Ryndam, on a western Caribbean cruise. We stopped at Key West, Belize, Guatemala, and Costa Maya in Mexico. The photos are finally on RickCollierImagery and include underwater and tourist shots, including some High Dynamic Range (HDR) photos. Links to the new galleries are provided.
