Hello friends, it’s almost 9:00 in the evening and I am sitting here as tired as can be and seem to have a bad case of the non-stop yawns!  I had a busy day at work.  I did two sub dives for walk in customers, one in the morning and one in the afternoon and in between I trained my new person mostly on PhotoShop.  After work I geared up and took off on a fast one hour ride but just didn’t have my normal energy, diving and biking do not mix!!
 
Here’s a little tiny Juvenile Dusky Damselfish I found the other day while shooting macro at Vaersenbaai.  These little treasures start their lives out being very colorful fish but will grow up to be an ugly dull black color.  As an adult this fish will become very territorial and is known to frequently chase away divers and fish that are much bigger than they are!  These are also the fish that are currently doing so much damage on the reef by making those “coral gardens” I have told you about, they just don’t seem to have many enemies!  This guy here was about the size of your fingernail, super tiny and very hard to photograph! 
 
Off to bed, thanks for all the great notes, Barry
