Hullo everyone! Just wanted to apologize for my sporadic flist-checking; I'm at my summer internship now, and access to the precious Interwebs is limited to a couple of areas. I'm actually in Bermuda - which, yes, is very sweet - doing research on bacteria involved in red tide events (aka Harmful Algal Blooms ( Read more... )

A lot of it just has to do with the amazing light - even when it's overcast, the sun is SO strong, and my camera lurbs natural light. X3

Yeah, I have no idea how the parrotfish happened - I would guess that because it died in a coral reef, it was calcified by all the, well, surrounding calcifiers? like diatoms and coral polyps. It's pretty darn neat.

Yeah, that's so cool! I wonder why it's not stuck in the coral reef with everything else, then? Were the people who found it like, woah, this patch of coral reef here looks like a fish, let's chip it out!

you're going to be competing with elyse for funnest photos on my flist over the summer, I can tell.
please take a pic of the intolerably cute cars! also, did you manage to pay huge sums for biodegradable sunscreen before you left? if not, I guess you seem to sweat sunscreen anyway...?

Hot damn, competition with Elyse's blog? I'd better step it up.

I'll get at least one shot of the roads of cuteness, just for you. No, I didn't have the chance to hunt down hippie sunblock before I got there, but I'll be on the lookout, especially if I do a lot of snorkeling later. And no, I don't sweat it... the sunblock had gotten all runny from being on the sun, so it spattered off my hand and onto unfortunate formations on my calves without my noticing.
