This is a Giant Elephant Ear in its course of eating.
In the series below, you`ll see it trying to envelope its food while other animals try to steal its captured prey.
I`ll start with a colorful image of a sated Elephant Ear.
I have about 20/ 25 of these.
I`ve not done a census lately.

Basically, you get what my pages dictate.
This page is from my reef tanks.
I`ll open with an image of one of my fore reef images.

As I said, I`m trying to go through my Flickr account starting from the first page I downloaded to the present.
The only problem with that is that you only get to see them in that order.
This page features a Reverse Goldentail Eel.
Here is this gorgeous Moray.

I entertained an idea the other day that I would post images from my Flickr account on a daily basis.
So here I am, posting.
I`m starting from the back & working forward.
These first images are of a fish pond I built for a friend one street over from my place.
I`ll open with a shiny backed turtle called "Pokey".

Since this is a section on photography,
I wanted to introduce you to a stranger.
Just jump down below the squiggly thingy, & enjoy.

While a few of you may know that I`ve been cultivating cacti for some years,
I`m introducing tonight`s bloom from one of my gems.
I try & keep an eye on all of my cacti on a daily basis, since most of them bloom at night & for one night only.
When the sun comes up tomorrow morning this bloom will wilt & I won`t see more till next year.
I`m including another one of my blooms which from the image, you can see that I`ll enjoy a few more than one day of blooming.
To finish, why not a sunset shot from my deck.

Although I`ve been away for a while, I still try & come here as much as I can.
Today, I have a little time to post some random images, mostly taken in the past month.
All are taken at my house.
Here`s a starter image.

These are slow shutter speed shots taken at the Malibu Getty Villa.
There is no flash photography allowed.
I did not want to depreciate the quality of the images by upping the ISO, so I took them as is.
I should have brought more than the one camera I did.
I had two identical cameras packed but decided to leave one home to make room for a brown-bag lunch.
What I should have done was bring the battery from the second camera though, as I ran out of power halfway through the day.
This was really a test visit though & I now know that the tour should be a two day affair, which is not that significant since The Getty Villa is close by (20 minutes) & is free.
This first image I did insert eyes into it to give it a little intrigue.

This is my old & beautiful friend, Amado. You`ll meet him after his ladies.
He is from Mexico.
He is world famous as an orchid expert & has over 700 varieties that he bred.
He has won hundreds & hundreds of awards, but he only loves the rewards of growing his lovely ladies.
I spent some time with him yesterday, but I was very happy to see him at the ranch again today, & made sure we had our picture taken by Berta, a small Mexican girl who works for him.
He is a very gentle man.
It must help account for his age, as he turned 90 a short time ago.
I met him over 30 years ago playing pool at a bar over a few years.
We always had a great time challenging each other while improving our game.
His wife would quietly sit & watch us play.
She`s still sitting quietly in the background.
Linked to this image I have a set of some of his orchids.
One image is a set of orchids I processed tonight along with a screen capture of the folder that all of the shots I took today of the orchids though I haven`t gotten to all of them yet.
I have quite a few folders yet to go through from today`s shoot & you`ll soon get to see them.

I`m dedicating this post to all the ladies in my life, past & present.
(There are quite a few surprisingly, & I`ll be posting some stuff soon about an art show I attended last Sat. where I met many of said ladies from my past.)
Enjoy your visit to my friend`s paradise.

A litte bunch of mixed images, using different styles techniques & lighting to keep every one coming back & to encourage them to keep shooting.
All of these are taken with a point & shoot camera.
To open, this is an image I made with seed pods & leaves.

This is a test to see if I have to put “Photography” in the subject box to have the diary go to that group.
If anyone knows about this, please comment.
This is only a test, but you can also check out the images .
I do a lot of underwater photography.
I stand outside my tanks when I take these shots.
If anybody wants some hints on how to shoot fish in a tank, remember to wear eye protection. You could shoot your eye out. (That was a joke.)
Seriously, I`ll answer any questions you may have on how to get marine tank shots.

To see if I can follow how this works, I`m posting a bunch of images.
I`m an eclectic photographer, meaning I shoot everything & anything.
I also only shoot my images with a small point & shoot camera, to encourage those who may not be able to afford expensive equipment, to just shoot, shoot, shoot.
Great pix can be taken, without a large outlay of cash.
The corollary to this, is that some people with expensive equipment should not be allowed to take pictures.(imho)
