Good evening from the Netherlands Antilles!  Hah, never used that one before.  I told someone today, you try to come up with 365 different blog greetings it gets tough.  Well let’s see what did we do in Curacao today?  Both of us had to work, if you can call it work and at 1:30 I took off on a fun little macro dive out on the reef.  The wind is still blowing like crazy and the waves are a rolling in but that didn’t stop yours truly from having a great dive.  I did find out early though that I again had to go to deeper waters to get out of the surge.  I was at 42 feet today trying to shoot something and I was still getting moved around by passing waves overhead, strange huh?  I kind of just stopped what I was doing and watched as each wave passed all the way thru the reef, the gorgonians and sea fans were really waving back and forth.  I took a bunch of close-ups today of all different kinds of coral polyps in a wide range of colors.  I noticed tonight after getting home and looking at photos that I photographed some kind of new weird see-thru shrimp.  He was sitting on one of the corals I shot, the naked eye would have never seen it and I sure I could never find this spot again.
 
Your photo this evening is just plain o’l bubbles.  When the big waves roll in and crash on the rocks they leave a layer of foamy salt bubbles or sea-foam in it’s place.  I love these bubbles, most of my co-workers think I have lost my mind as I lay on the bridge and shoot down into the foam, it’s just to fun to pass up. 
 
That’s about it friends, I’ll be back tomorrow!  See ya, Barry
