Good morning everybody. I guess I shall try to pop in here on and off throughout the day. I thought I would start today's thread with a little action at the gate. Annie B.

O'h well maybe not.

Blikje and Grendel are waiting for treats.

Nice morning colours. It is a lovely warm sunny day here too, so far. Annie B.

I can hear the waves breaking on the beach.

Good Morning Annie B! I hope that you had a wonderful Birthday!
Here is a fuzzy parrot!

Morning Eileen. Yes I did have a nice birthday thanks. That parrot looks like I felt last night. LOL. Annie B.

How do you feel this morning? I still have some housework to do that I did not get finished yesterday. My neighbour and I had some wogga last night and that was that. All in fun!

Wow!

Great capture....I just missed it!!

Nice one Eileen. Here's some happy visitors.

I like the sign Dive(?)-a-holics for Bonaire! The Not Coming Home is a great one too!

Eileen. I feel ok this morning thanks. Gotta go get dinner ready. I'll be back. Annie B.

A diver.

Good morning/afternoon, whatever, to everyone. Happy belated birthday Annie. Can only get a few minutes today, too. Too many little things that have to get done.

There's a boat up there. Anyone seen any divers?

Well, for once they came by when I was here.

Anyone recognise these guys.

Close up and personal.

GMTA John. My 'puter has slowed down, better reboot I think. Annie B.

Etude for 3 divers and a fish.

Well, that was a brief performance. Looks like they are already back at the boat.



Didn't mean to upstage you, Annie. Stuff goes fast on Sunday mornings here, since a network usage is low.

Wandered off, and came back to another set.

Some surface action.



And with that, I've got to take off.

Hiya gan,
I never did it, but I am just saying hello from work. Boss is not here...
Catch you later from home.
Did you think about the cleaning goby pic I need ?
Pop out later, bye

mornin' everyone, great captures! glad you had a nice bday annie! martine, i will try to look later. i have my volunteer stint at the ocean institute this morning...then back home to study, plus work on the behaviour descriptions for our reefcam dwellers!

Computer on the fritz again . Husband is looking at it. Great diver pix though!

hi elieen, for some reason i can only save the pics as a bitmap as well. even when you right click, there is no option to save it as something else. it is weird, as it happens only once in a while. i have to then take the pic to photoshop and resave it as a jpeg...

fish in a vortex

John, Thanks for posting the divers. I guess I had too many windows open which made computer run slow.

Martine, I sent you some cleaning goby pics via email. Annie

Here's a couple that got missed.

And only a fish trail now...Hi, Annie! I hope you had some clearer pictures of Slim for Martine...I don't think I ever saw anything clear as I believe the goby sticks close to the lens. Do you have any Bonaire visits planned? I'm trying for June this year, hoping for more than one reason that there's no war...

Oh, Martine, you might find some clear pics by searching "goby" on the keyword search button...someone might have saved a nice one in the chat rooms...

Okay, I took my own advice and checked out the listings under goby..here's one photo of one cleaning (there was a lot of discussion about the behavior on that day) and I came across this hmm...fake looking lobster in the archives as well...can't wait to see your draft pages, Martine...looks like you're getting some expert help from Cynde...

Oh, the Goby is the little pointy thing hanging below the parrot fish's mouth...

Eileen, Cynde. I had the same problem this morning. Pictures would only save a Bitmap. Problem was solved for me when I deleted the temporary internet files.

Barbara. I sent Martine the clearest pics of Slim that I could find. As you say, he just sticks to the cam and is too close. The only visit I have planned for Bonaire is the one that I take every day from the comfort of my living room i'm afraid. LOL. You better give me a wave when you get there though. Annie B.

These are what I got of Slim. They are the clearest I could find. Annie

Puter crawling slow as a snail again. Taking forever to upload. Be back in a while. Annie

See you, later, Annie...I've got to run errands! Have a happy day after! ;-)

oh, I agree that those are the clearest pictures of slim that I've ever seen up close...

Bye Barbara

A couple of visitors have turned up at the gate. Save the Planet.

Thank-you Annie B! I will try out those tips!

Another quick peek in and spotted these two..now I really must get cleaning up all the paper here!

Don't go away, I want a stroke.

gate

now this is a readable sign!


off to the maps, charting and math...argh..

They said they would make sure we saw them. LOL

annie, who are they (other than from louissiana?)

Cynde. I am sure that I read a message on the boards somewhere that they would make themselves known on the cams. I can't find the thread now. UGH!!

ok maybe I dreamt it. LOL

That went very Well ARGGGHH!!! can't edit it either.

Dare I try again.

Phew!!

Guess it's time for bed.

Night night peeps. See you all tomorrow. Annie b.

thanks for the sunsets annie!

You're welcome.

Barbara, thanks for the help, I did as you suggested and I found a gold mine. Finally I saw a pretty shot of slim taken by jake and he gave me the Ok to post it. Annie, thanks to you too, I will use your pics to show how slim appears on the cam. Oh boy, I need to go to sleep now, can't read nor write anymore. Have a nice night, and see you tomorrow.

Beautiful Sunsets Annie B!
