Reef Squid

Reef Squid

Good morning friends, once again just to tired in the evening to send out the daily so to make up for it I had to get up at 5:00am.  I had quite a busy day yesterday beginning with taking the dogs by the leash and riding the bike at the same time along the side of the road, looking for an adventure try that one, it’s not easy!!  Really they could make that an Olympic event.  Just for fun try to ride your bike on a sidewalk with one hand on the bars and the other holding two dogs who are playing with each other, stopping instantly to smell or chase something or like Inca would do grab pieces of grass as we passed by, it must have looked silly to anyone watching??  We spent around two hours riding around the trails and doing a little clean-up, and by the time we got home I had two very tired puppies who are still fast asleep!  I then rode the bike up to the garage, they told me they need a part and they can’t find it but would call me by noon to let me know what was going on, they never did!  I then spent the rest of the day building furniture and cleaning up the house, we are just three days away from Eva arriving from the Denver area.  I went for a short bike ride with a friend at 4:45 but with some kind of shifting problem had to quit early.  Aimee came home from work at 5;30 driving our friend Gordys truck, she then went to the store before walking the dogs around our place, so thanks G-Man for letting us use your truck!!  I put a few more pictures on the underwater photography site you can just type in my name to find them and vote on them as well if you like here’s the link again, www.underwaterphotography.com/photo-contest/default.aspx
 
Here’s another fun little Caribbean Reef squid shot I took the other night.  This was the one I told you all about that let me get so close that I was able to reach out and pet him over and over and eventually held him in one of my hands.  As I held him he changed all different colors, you just have to see it yourself in person to believe it!!  Squid are abundant in all oceans of the world. Approximately 40 species are known to live along the west coast of North America alone. A few live in shallow water close to shore, but most live in the open ocean far from land, often at great depths.  Here’s a link if you want to learn more, www.marinebio.org/species.asp?id=286
 
That’s about it, I have to go wake up the family and make some delicious Highlander Groog, it’s the best time of the day!!  As always thanks for all your kind notes, talk to more later tonight, Barry
