This is for Michiel aka Shrek! who is leaving this morning and had this wonderful little treat for us all!
We will miss him! Come back soon! Wally, Eva, Barbara & Alison say goodbye and we hope to see you again soon!

That's all I needed for an underwater dream, just before I came up and shut this compter down:


Often I have dreamed that just across the horizon of the sloshing, rhythmic waves of my best beach dream there is an island I can see plainly, without squinting. I can see the palms waving and all is green and alive and beautiful, and it is close enough to swim to, if I had to. And in between my sandy golden shore and that wavy, green island always lies an absolute wonderland of an underwater world. I can’t breathe there, my logical mind tells me after I’m in the water, so I adjust. Even my best dream tugs at me to remember that I can breathe only by scuba, so logic enters my dream in scuba and I’m suddenly outfitted with tanks and regulators. Unless, of course, I decide not to bother with logic, and go full fantasy and become a mer person who just breathes oxygen wherever it is, particularly from the water. What breath, to not drown and be happy from that and go forward, looking in the reef and up and down from sunlight to bottom, for all that crosses my way. I'm a good spotter. But in any way I choose my dream to be, I breathe and live and glory in that underwater space. Every kind of fish, every kind of life viable to an underwater world travels that space between the golden sandy shore and green island of my dream That is my best dream, but also my best reality.

Happy diving Babs! See you in a few. : )

Hi and Good Morning Everybody.....
A blue sky above Germany and I have to work

Fortunately this will rise the water temperature in the baltic sea (current 16°C to 17°C). I want to go for a dive this weekend....7mm neoprene will help

I wish you all a wonderful day today! See you for the sunsets!

Hi everyone. A lovely hot day here again today, so shall spend some time in the garden again. Annie B.

I lightened these a little.

I'll some some of your coffee too, Eileen. I had a good sleep last night - right through - and woke late, so I've been rushing around this morning.

Hello to everyone.

I enjoy this lovely day in Germany too.
I have to be in the office, but - to look out of the window is pretty nice. Blue sky, no clouds and squirrels in the trees.

Martine. We stayed up far too late. LMHO. Here's my first ever attempt at making a pastel effect. Annie B.

Thank you Igor.



Barbara. A great way to start today's thread.

Chubby.

Barbara, look, Chubby found the new cam location and is waiting for you. :o)
Oops, morning to the new woken up. Annie, I think I'll have a nap on the roof terrace :o)
And congrats for painting effect !

Hi gal, why do we ALWAYS think alike at the same time ?

A wonderful afternoon / morning to everybody!
Seems like another lovely day at Bonaire.
Still 3 more days to go before we can do without the webcam.

Bert, what do you mean about 3 more days??

Playing again with this early morning walk on the beach pic

Lots of fishes, and Sarge. Annie B.

Sure hope someone cleans that green glob off of the camera today! OK, off to work for me!

I am leaving for awhile... need a walk in town looking for bargains or other stuff I don't really need :o) Too nice weather to stay home...
See you later

Martine wait!

Happy hunting Martine. I am back indoors for a while under the ceiling fan. Much too hot in the garden. Annie B.

Sarge came real close

Hello Everyone!!!!
I just had a chance to log in and found this close up of sarge waiting for me!!!

Oops Annie - I should have waited for that pic to upload before posting!!!
How are you feeling!?!?!?

Kathy the glob is green/brown algae and it appears to grow fast!!! I had to clean the cam every dive that I did!!!

To give everyone a thrill - here is Kelly in front of the cam before the dolls got frisky!!!!LOL!!!

That Kelly is such a bathing beauty!

LOVE the pink nail polish!

Kelly my DAWDLING DIVER buddy!!! Your home!!!!!!

Did you see the seahorse and Sebs and Mary's!?!?!? Seb said that he found a 3rd one!!! I am so jealous!!!!!!!

Miss you buddy!!!!

Fish visitors!!!

Hi Mary what a nice shot of the mooring

Mary. Great picture of Kelly there, and I just love that hat. LMHO. Annie B.

Annie - the hat was Freddie's idea. I lost mine some where during the dive - it slipped out of my BC - so now it is on the bottom scaring the fishes!!!!

When we were getting in with the hats on - a swimmer came out of the water and started laughing at us and said - boy do you look stupid - both Kelly and I looked at him and said thank you that was the plan and starting laughing harder!!!

Look over at CC - I will post the pics of how we looked topside!!!!

Divers and they did not stop by to say hi!!!

maybe it's Babs and her buddies. They may visit the wreck and appear on the cam later :o)
I did some good buys :o)

Martine - go look on CC!!!
Glad to hear you found some good buys!!!

I hope they will understand !

I go right now !

Look what I nearly missed swapping on CC

Better and better !

Martine - great sign!!!!!! Love it!!!!

Mary, I loved your pics, soooo funny.
OMG, what shall I have to imagine next time we are going. The challenge is each time greater :o)

Time to think about my dinner :o)

I bet he is burning his feet :o(

My dinner time too Martine. Annie B.

A gathering at Bongo's.

These guys are mighty curious about the reef cam today!!!

Good Afternoon, buddies o' mine! I've been watching but have been emailing and phoning and working on a newsletter and membership list for the historical society. Thank goodness for the cams on the right and Pagemaker on the left side of the screen. My 19" monitor was worth every single penny!

I grabbed the big one - gives you that YOU ARE THERE (I wish!) FEELING.

Mary! LOL @ Kelly! The bathing cap (as we called them in school) is hilarious - you look like Lucille Ball.

Martine - ynnuf yrev!

Boy, the skies over the South Beach shot are always stunning!

I've got the skull for my wallpaper! It is just toooooo cool!

Hi Rusty. Now that's a good use for the skull picture.

Mary. I think that you and Kelly looks great in your bathing caps. I wonder if someone will find the one that you lost and appear with it on the cam too. Now that would be funny. Annie B.

HEEEEELOOOOO EVERYBODY!

8 days to go... and counting!

Does anyone know where Elvira's been lately? I don't remember her checking in at all this week.

Yoooooooohoooooooo!!!! Elvira!!!!!!

Sarge is looking, too.

Sarge came for a visit!!!
