 Atlantic Gray Cowrie Good evening friends how was your Sunday?? I took the dogs to the ocean for three hours this morning! It was so windy and the waves were so big that even at Saint Joris this morning the dogs and I had a hard time wading thru what is normally fairly calm water. I took my camera and tripod and found a bunch of new snails to shoot this morning, it’s really amazing just how many there are now that I am actually looking for them. So as I set up the camera and played with my snails the dogs kept themselves busy chewing on everything and chasing each other all over the beach. Indi found the same leather glove she had two weeks ago, she must have had it stashed somewhere?? She also found a child’s bike tire and raced around with that in her mouth for at least 30 minutes!! She kept bringing that disgusting thing to me all dripping in slobber and covered in sand and wanted to play tug-o-war with it, I had to rinse it off first every time! There were a lot of tiny little shells this morning all over the beach and I mean tiny, most were about the size of your pinky fingernail! I did take a few shots of some of them laying in the sand but haven’t seen them yet so maybe that photo is headed your way soon. I once again found out that Sunday is a terrible day to take the dogs anywhere as every other person with dogs on the island is also out for that one day of the week, it was not fun getting back to the car.
I am really missing the Mac, it’s so weird to not have it around? I couldn’t do a whole lot today around the house because the neighbors were home and wanted to just relax on their Sunday and have to hear electric sanders and chop-saws a blazing! This means I got nothing done on my wood box. I did go shopping and at 3:00 took off on a one hour bike ride. It seemed like it had been forever since I had been riding, I got busy with some photos and then got sick but I am back riding again.
Your photo was taken a few weeks ago at night on the sunken ship the Superior Producer. We had just got down to the ship when I found this little treasure just crawling around this beautiful sponge. These Atlantic Gray Cowries are very common and one of my favorite things to find and to watch. They move around fairly fast and are completely unaffected by our lights. During the day they hide and at night they come out to feed and hopefully they don’t cross the path of an octopus who considers these a delicious snack!!
It’s off to bed, good luck with your Monday, see ya, Barry
