Redondo again 12-8-08

I spent all day trying to get ready for Dad & Carol to show up tomorrow - I never get everything I need to get done done....


I didnt get many good pictures tonight. I was not very together in the water & was cold then too buoyant, mask constantly seeping up my nose- yada yada-

My finger is a good depth gauge for sure- 47 feet it starts to pulsate pretty good..

So there wasnt any big critters tonight. All little stuff..





So we were on our way out to the dome & was almost there when I tried taking a pic of a stubby squid.. This sculpin was pulling a Tazmanian devil act , burying herself down then spinning around & landing right under my head. Just when the camera would get a good focus - she spun it all up again , finally I gave up & took her picture...She WAS quite pink & pretty ... Usually that type is more brown ..




Thought this stubby would make a good subject... Then I noticed it wasy burying its self down in the sand! I have never seen this before!

the pictures below show it doing its hippo impression.....























Marty found this pretty cool Octo on the way up....


On the way back in I had to swim through the HUGEST school of tubesnouts!! It was GINORMOUS!!!! I could feel them banging into my legs every so often ! It was crazy! And even though they are impossible to get a decent picture of - Im posting one anyway...











Also I wanted to put a picture of the tree up- but again , it isnt photographing well . The ornaments dont show up - all you see is the lights... none the less-
