Bonaire Reef Scene

Bonaire Reef Scene

Good evening friends, here’s yet another beautiful reef scene from Bonaire.  This was taken on the day I went with Scott and his group on a boat to the tiny island of Klein Bonaire.  The dive site is called Leonora’s Reef named after one of the many girlfriends of Captain Don who named almost all the sites in Bonaire.  This spectacular sponge cluster was found almost directly under the boat and if you visit there sometime soon there is a giant seahorse 20 feet away at the same depth to the left, see if you can find him!  I highly recommend any new readers taking a boat trip or two to Klein Bonaire it’s just filled with great stuff.  These sponges here are very plain looking underwater, if fact they are green but hit them with some flash and “Bammo” you have instant color.  A big thanks again to Scott and Tammi for setting me up with this boat dive, I had a blast and took so many great reef scene photos and some even have Scott in the background.
 
Today was crazy busy.  I first took the dogs to Saint Joris for some trail building and playing in the sand and water and after two hours I carted two very muddy and sandy dogs back home.  I then raced over to a friends house to help them paint the inside of their new house.  The walls were painted pink and our job was to try and cover that terrible color, it took layer after layer of white to achieve this goal but slowly it got done.  I then went back home at around 3:00 and met Aimee who got off work early.  Her and I took off on a fun one hour bike ride, half on the road and half on the dirt, it was a lot of fun.  We are now sitting here watching the last episode of Life on Mars and then off to bed.
 
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend, Barry
