Fish


We have spent so much time in the water
swimming
snorkeling
playing
exploring.
I have shot picture after picture of sea life but have got just a handful of good ones to share.
This is the gang at the tide pools at Okuma.
My favorite Puffer and Box fish
The creature that lives in these shells are poisonous but pretty.
A cute crab.
We found this Clown fish guarding his anomie today.
They are very territorial.
Humas are also territorial.
This is a horrible picture but he came right up to my mask and scared me!
This is some unidentified fish...oh, it's just Pam.
These are cool.
They are called Cushionfish, sort of like a Starfish without the arms.
And the Hermies, aren't they cute?

Another beautiful day at the beach! Is Okuma along the Atlantic Ocean or the China Sea? Is the water warmer in one or the other? How about sea life, more abundant along one beach compared to another? or shells and sea glass, more 'there' or 'here'? Are the beaches sandy or rocky? Do you go barefoot or wear sandals? Kyndra and Avery can answer alot of these questions when they come to Montana!!

Will you ever go back? I am betting that you will wish you could. Your girls will remember this forever. Where will sister Pam & hubby be stationed next? Let's send them somewhere just as wonderful to visit.
