Spawning Brittle Star

Spawning Brittle Star

Good evening readers, guess what I did today, yep, NOTHING!  I had a fairly relaxing day at home while Eva went to the Aquarium and did some shopping on the beach and Aimee had to work.  About the only outside adventure I did today was to take the dogs for a nice walk at the salt ponds and while I was there I picked all my trail tools I had hidden over there in the brush.  I spent most of the day backing up photos onto mini-hard drives and burning DVD’s, I took a whole lot of pictures this week!
 
Here’s a fun shot from last night, this is a large Brittle Star Spawning!  I tell you it’s such a strange and wonderful thing to see!  It’s like an underwater alarm is sounded and all at once every brittle star crawls out from underneath something and starts mating and spawning.  Here you can see the body raised up high and all those eggs being released into the water, I mean is that cool or what??  I raced all around trying to get more of these type of shots but it just happens so fast!  I am going back tonight at 7:00 to see if that was it or if it is still going, stay tuned.
 
I am off to a birthday party at work, talk to you later, Barry
