I actually got a night off and played with some recent pictures. In tonight's batch the first are from Old Garden Beach and then from Folly Cove both on Cape Ann, Ma.

This is the mother of all Moon Snails.

Note Art's fingers.

Flounder Face


Sea Raven Face


This guy was also huge, here he is with Art.


Love this face.


This is what it is.

Rock Gunnel. This guy was near the above.

Starfish and Mussels


Lobsta

This bug was pretty cool, notice the claws lowered. Normally they are in defensive mode with the claws opened and raised. This guy was very laid back and actually came out to see me.

Favorite shot, Crab Love.


I found this growing out of the house.

You think we've had some rain.

This is from last weekend and where we stopped for afternoon drinks.

Cecil, do you dive dry suit?

That's one big snail! Thanks Cecil!

Verrry cool, almost COLD pics, Cecil! (IS it cold?)

I've never seen a flounder with eyes raised like that, or a snail that big, or starfish that plentiful. Nice little patch of ocean you have there. Thanks for sharing it with us.

OK, never seen crabs mating, either. lol Was this a night dive?

Wow Cecil, great pics as always! I just love the starfish pictures, I think that's my favorite. And thanks for the nightmares I'll have about the giant snail that ate Bonaire. lol.

Wow...you might just convert some of us warm water wusses...might just! LOL! Thanks for posting these.

Really nice pictures Cecil, worrying fungi though as it must be feeding off the wood.

Yes Denise I do have a dry suit now. It does not keep me dry, but it does keep me warm. Kathy it was day dive, I've been messing with exposures to darken the background.

Brian not any more, that piece of wood is now firewood. It was actually the vinyl channel that was the problem, not long enough to stop the water from getting under it.

Cecil great pics, thanks for posting them.

Cecil - great pic's
Great crab shot. Can't believe the size of the giant snails!

Wow, Cecil! That snail is humongous! Nice pics, thanks for posting them.

Great flicks Cecil, thanks for posting them... Ron

Cecil, great pics Love the sea raven!

We saw 2 puffer fish mating on Bon...at least that's what we THINK they were doing...similar position of the crabs laying on some coral...lol...

Nice pictures Cecil! Oh how I miss Cape Ann, Folly Cove was my favorite dive site on the Northeastern shore for many years. Nice to revisit the area vicariously through your camera.

Brrrrrrr!!! I have turned into a W.W.W.:-{O}

Always love your pictures Cecil - thank you!

Great shots again Cecil! Wish I'd been able to go on that Old Garden beach dive with you!
Thanks for posting!

Very cool pictures Cecil. Love the lobsta.

By the way, my wife Kathi got dry suit certified last summer in Alaska. I watched her go down. We did a couple dives in Maine in 93 off of Beauchamp Point near Rockport. We had 7 mil suits, gloves, hoods, etc. It was still freakin cold and it was in July!!! I'll stick to my shortie in Bonaire.
