Incredible pictures esp. the color saturationand those eyes look like something out of a cartoon. Good animal behavior, observation skills.

Great creatures!

And I love the pose with the eyes! (I'd use a smiley here but the new ones are ugly!)

Very nice! I've seen your other East Timor pictures and they are great too. By the way, I am planning a trip to East Timor next year and your links were very helpful. I will be contacting you about that in the near future.

Thanks Luiz. Tell us when you are coming and we can show you around. Year round is great but the best time is dry season between the months of August and November. This period opens up a few more sites that sit near the openings of a couple of rivers. Lots o' nudibranchs!!

Wolverine, thanks!. The last shot is of some kind of small conch (Strombus sp.??). There are so many that I can't tell which species. I have seen one eye ball before but this really got my attention. Kinda freaky!
