Ningaloo - more from Easter long weekend

[alcina]

You'd think with all the office time I got to spend this week thanks to a major rain band that I'd be caught up with photos! Not so, but I have played with a few more (the others are linked in my sig below if you missed them or didn't see the new ones added).

Exquisite. The Cleaner picture is fabulous-you do such an incredible job on those, but I just love the smiling Blenny!

Oh my! I love the Coral trout photo (reminds me of a dream I had - I was diving with one of my good SB friends) and we found some cleaner shrimp and I just had to let it give me a clean, but I accidentally inhaled a "feeler")..... But my favorite has got to the blenny. I blennies!

I don't have a funny comment this time

Cleaner shrimp and octopus are magnificent.
