    The Seymour Center at Santa Cruz’s Long Marine Lab was the home of the 2009 Santa Cruz Sea Glass Festival I was happy to come across this deck of Sea Glass cards that helps me understand what types of bottles, bowls and other containers some of the sea glass I find probably came from. You…

    View of Kona Coast from off the Kohala Coast. While our friends went diving we stayed on land so we could fly the next day. I took some pictures of them and one of the dive sites from a new vantage point: above the water.

    2009 turned out to be The Year of the Whale. In March, for the first time I listened to whales singing underwater while I dove.  I watched them spouting, and breaching, and diving quite a bit during boat rides in March and December. Last year I went to Point Reyes for the first time where…

    I was just thinking about the deep blue color of the ocean water. So, here are some photos from a recent trip showing other divers descending into, and ascending from, the blue ocean. Sometimes we come across another group from our boat at the end of a dive

    Happy New Year! Let’s celebrate with some turtle pictures from Punalu’u Beach in Hawaii. Really? People bring balloons to a beach where turtles are known to live, and then leave them on the ground where the turtles could eat them?!

    I saw more engraving than I’ve ever seen in one place on “Cherry 64”, a very cherry Impala. The Academy of Art University has an impressive car collection, and I loved seeing the body work and all the other metal work on cars from the 1930s.
