Glowing Sea Urchin

Glowing Sea Urchin

Good morning friends, by request here is another glowing sea urchin that I shot for you last night.  This little beauty was found by Emily a few days ago on our walk to Saint Joris, we found five in total that morning but this one was the hands down winner!  Each urchin we find has it’s own unique stripes and patterns and I am now finding out that the good one’s like this one are hard to come by.  For this urchin I placed a little red piece of beach glass in the middle to block the light but after it’s 10 second exposure it turned yellow and now looks like a volcano filled with molten lava!  I have some others I am still working on to send you as well so there is bound to be more of these colorful creations headed your way.
 
Lets see what’s going on in Curacao?  The weather is great, not to hot but still pretty windy.  You have all heard of Greenpeace??  Well their famous ship went by the aquarium yesterday, it was the first time I have ever seen it here.  It has a big rainbow painted on the front and whales, birds and dolphins in other spots and in big letters along the side it said, “protecting our oceans”.  It was a long ways out when we saw it but I did get a fairy good shot if any of you are interested in seeing it.  Emily is working on getting certified to dive while here and we can hardly wait to go with her on her first underwater adventure! 
 
That’s about it, we are all tired, Aimee is working hard these days and is still asleep although I think she has to be to work soon so I better go wake her up!!  Be back again tonight, Barry
