Good morning ladies and gentlemen, once again I am late with the mail!  I spent the evening packing as I have so much camera gear I am taking to Bonaire you really wouldn’t believe it.  I think like last time I will take a photo of it all laid out on the bed once I get there and send that to you then when I get home.  Last night I prepared photos for Aimee to send out to you every night while I am gone so there will be no interruption in the blog.  Then when I get home I will do a week or two or probably more of shots and stories from the trip should be fun for all of us. 
 
Here’s a baby or Juvenile Queen Angelfish that I found a few days ago in the shallows near the World Famous Dive Bus at Pier Baai.  These fish like I have said before are so difficult to shoot, they are really shy!!  This one came out of his or her cave just once to say hi and after quickly taking a few shots she disappeared never to be seen again.  Really it was like a magic trick or something I searched and searched but never did find this little colorful thing again!  Go back a few days ago to the adult Queen photo I sent you and now look at this one, it’s really quite the transformation.  This one here is about a year old, the tiny ones are even more colorful and even harder to photograph but boy are they ever beautiful!!
 
Work is still as crazy as I have ever seen it, we call it mass confusion!  Aimee has been working so hard and hardly gets enough sleep these days and like the other trainers lives in a wetsuit all day long! 
 
That’s about it, need to get moving, already running late, Barry
