Early on in our 14 straight years on visiting Bonaire, I watched a friend who introduced us to the island, photographing a small pond.
In all his years visiting Boaire, he had not seen standing water!
One February I actually got a pic of a tree from on our rental truck. I never have seen...
While it is not exactly a memory from this trip, today Colleen got word from the spine surgeon who repaired her broken neck, that he is going to work on her lower spine, in a couple of weeks hopefully, to relieve the stenosis that has been cripling her.
She now says she will be mobile well...
Talk about favorite memories.....from a conversation elsewhere on SB this evening, I searched for and found a series of short stories titled Tales of a Brass Bottle Opener, posted on SB, back @2005, by a Tom Smedley.
I just reread a few of those old gems
Great reads, and makes me wish I could...
I shot only 35mm, until I decided to take a camera UW on my dives.
I knew how much $ I was spending on land pics, and instinct told me that it would be much worse under water! I have only shot digital since.
I hate diving with strobes. I liked your small Saelife set up.
I enjoy having a small camera that can be "stowed" in a pocket or pouch, so it is avaiable, but does not define my dive.
Diving with a strobe mounted camera determines the character of my dive as a "photo dive", and limits my...
You got him. Crop the image a bit to shift the focus, and remove much of the distraction, and he is there!
This is a quick crop from 1 of your pics
You definitely got the toad.
Mine was a lucky shot. I have already admitted that!
Since I was the last diver in the group to move up, to try for a shot, the poor toadfish was not about to come out and pose, so I was not sure I could get a pic, but I tried a couple quick setting changes, and used the Sola light on low, and...
My poor Toy took a beating today. I knew I needed to replace the bumper, but I was pretty sure is was just cosmetic, BUT when we went to load the Kubota on the flatbed today, to mow my daughter's place, the bumper brackets failed, quite spectacularly...
:shocked::shocked:
I am just glad it...
My two began with joining me underwater, which I had become hooked on at 17, thanks to Sea Hunt and that French guy.
The TKD came later, when it became my outlet during a bad divorce.
I only made 2nd°, myself, before age related injuries sidelined me.
But the pee has a certain glow in the dark...
At 10 my son Morgan was quite aware of my failings, UW and willing to point them out.
I was sorry to learn on our return from Belize that my son is selling, or unloading his dive gear, but he has not dived since he was a teenager now, so he has moved on with his life.
I made certain that both...
A few years ago I did a few days of diving with a Canadian couple, on Bonaire.
The husband was diving a mask with a heads up screen display of some sort, a display which showed information on the inside of his mask. Among the that info was his wife's tank pressure.
Very helpful in their...
If the video which Dennis just shared is only 2 months old, it is obvious that the owner knew he was about to try to unload his failed pipe dream, and was trying to pump it up.
This shows that he remains willing to continue the charade of over promising and under delivering
"Buyer beware"
As we...
Not even keeping a spare belt on hand for the generators, which power the entire operation between sunset and sunrise, is definitely an indication that the owner is pinching every penny, hoping to unload his crippled white elephant before it takes him down, financially.
Slick Promo, that!
We certainly did not have the same impression or experience of BDH, from our recent stay, that she was describing.
Is there a twin sister resort out there that is not as post apocalyptic as the one we visited?
That promo was well done, and almost makes me want to forget the...
Knighthood for sale or rent, royal titles, fifty cents?
No style, no cool, no class.
I aint much but I got cash....
....sung to the tune from Roger Miller's, King of the Road.
