A solar powered nudibranch...Sulawesi Indonesia... I took this in Indonesia, Sulawesi, diving at about 60' during the day. They are rather see-through. Like a plant they photosensitize some of their food and also eat coral. This one is about 7" long. Sorta waddles when he walks, very floppy side to side as the ocean waves hit him. There were "2" of them, in a BIG hurry to get to where they were going and not get eaten as they crossed a rocky open expanse.

From yesterday's hike. Perfect October weather. The leaves aren't quite with us yet.

Petalique asked for a picture of my pup, and I'm only too happy to oblige. (Hope I haven't posted this one before.) I inquired here about the breed 7 years ago, and Chisue, who had a Westie at the time, encouraged my family to get this breed. Oski perches on the sofa back like a cat. He has been a joy to our family, through thick and thin. (He's named for UC Berkeley's mascot, the bear Oski.)

I always love the beautiful photos that are shared in this daily thread but don't often take the time to say thank you. I come here almost every morning to see this thread! Exclamation point alert, I use and mean them :-) I love the fall leaves and themes in Casey's offering of the day. Those colors make me happy! Schoolhouse, I absolutely love this scene! Are you fortunate enough to live life looking out that window? I hope so. imgd, I always admire those with the still patience to work jigsaw puzzles. I wish that I took the time to quietly sit and work a lovely puzzle. Murraysmom, where did you get that squirrel jack-o-lantern carver? I bet he's handy to have around! :-) Is that the normal Solomons Seal foliage color? I like it and have heard of it but haven't grown it yet.
