Oldie but a goodie
This morning, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch published a travelogue from my time in the Andamans where I became obsessed with scuba diving.
Just reading the story again makes me want to be back diving.
Perfect excuse for the scuba/clownfish photo above.

Cheeky little clownfish

North Indian anemonefish
Many people assume all clownfish are created equal. But not everyone looks like Nemo.
They’re all part of the subfamily of anemonefish with a generally shared common characteristic: aggressive defense of whatever sea anemone they live around. This one was photographed at Havelock’s Anemone Reef.
Most divers love to play a bit with the clownfish which, if antagonized, will bite a finger or “attack” a dive mask. Note: I have not angered one enough to be bitten. I play nice with others.
