Reef Scene

Good evening one and all, how was your New Years Eve??  I’m guessing most of you went to some kind of party or at least got to ring in the new year with countless explosions of fireworks!!  Believe it or not Aimee and I stayed home!!  Yep, we stayed home!  It’s such a terrible night for the animals here in Curacao that we figured we would just take care of them and watch the show from the balcony.  Words can’t even describe the noise that shook this island at midnight and continued for the next two hours, it was just pure insanity!!  Aimee and I were wondering just how many people got hospitalized last night??  This morning as we rode our bikes to work we got to see first hand all the litter left from the exploding fireworks, all I could think of was, “who’s going to clean all this up”??  Oh yeah the wind will do it and blow it all into the ocean!  Cool! 
 
Here’s another common reef scene from the Sea Aquarium House Reef.  The things that look like trees in the background are Gorgonians swaying back and forth from the passing waves.  The orange ball is a massive Orange Elephant Ear Sponge and the light colored sponges to the right are called Branching Vase Sponges.  I honestly just never get tired of searching for and shooting such beautiful scenes, the colors are just so beautiful!! 
 
Well the fireworks have begun again for the night, it will continue for at least a week still!!  Hope everyone is well, till tomorrow, Barry
