Good morning all,
Another wonderful day here. I just got a phone call from Jean Paul this morning. They were in the bus from Ayer Rock to Alice Springs. Everything is going fine,and thet fly tomorrow to Darwin. One week today he left, how fast the time is running :o)
The reefcam dwellers main page finally updated, miracle ? I have been thinking about naming the other parrots couples. Why not famous couples like Romeo and Juliette and Rhett and Scarlet ? What about Elwood for the 4 eyes butterfly ? We still have some other to name... so rack your brains.
I am just having my morning coffee and have to do some ( a lot ) of home work.
Have a nice day.

Bon dia Martine ..

Just having my cup as well ..
Good for JP he's having a good time ..
How long will he be away Martine ?

Only 7 days left .. still not yet in holidays mood, because of being too busy at work ..
Still have to see if/how I can bribe Jake this time ..

Morgen Olaf, hoe gaan det ?
Nice to share a coffee with you. Jean Paul will be back home on april 28th if there is no problem with Singapore Airlines who starts to reduce their flights... but I bought him a staff ticket on Qantas and Air France Darwin-Singapore-Paris just in case, but he can board only if some seats are available.
Don't worry, I never realize I am in holidays, I just feel it once sitted in the plane.
Just tell me how you managed with Jake, perhaps it would help for me too...
Have a nice day.

MMMMM Coffee! Good Morning Olaf and Martine! Last day of the work week for me! It will be a long day though, I have to fix mistakes today that other people at work have made. Not always easy. If I get it fixed the first time, I've been promised a bottle of wine! I'm visiting some friends tonight and going out for dinner, should be good.

Morning Eileen,
There is a cup of coffee left for you
To my opinion, your program looks quite dangerous for you, cause if you succeed to fix the first time all the mistakes the other did, they will always ask you to do it...
I wish you a nice day and good luck with the job. I promice to post the sun rise.

Look forward to the sunrises! My supervisor is pretty good about everything and knows how tough it can be (she has experience) so we have fun. But not a good way to end the week! The wine part sounds nice .

Are you doing anything for Easter this weekend? My parents are visiting us on Saturday and then we are off to my husbands family for Sunday.

Thank-you for the coffee!

First grainy morning picture...


Off to work! Have a great day Martine! bye Olaf!

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Have a wonderful day too Eileen, here's your sunrise pic.

Already a boat on the spot, with a bunch of early birds ..

...and it is also time to wake up underwater.

I bet Grendal is wondering how to open that door.

Suddenly crowed underwater.

Visitor coming ?

Bon dia, Martine.
I was all set to post the picture of Grendel, but you got there first. So I'll give you the sunrise in Kentucky.

Holly.

Hi Holly, at last somebody to talk to. I was feeling alone. Thanks for the pic, nice sunrise.
I wish you a nice day, mine is already in it's second half.

Here's our yellowtail snaper again, any name idea ?

Everybody must be on Easter holiday--even the fish
have disappeared. I guess it's just us, Martine.
I wish I was in Bonaire. Yesterday, the temperature
reached 86F (30C) here. Today, we'll be lucky to see 44F (6C).

Good Morning, Holly and Eileen And, Good Afternoon, Martine and Olaf

I guess we got lucky in Toronto - temperature dropped to -3C overnight, but no freezing rain, snow or ice pellets!! Going to a high (??) of +5C today, and then they are promising slightly warmer for the long weekend!!

Not much on the Cams right now, but looks WARM....and calm!!



Will be a busy day for me, so I'll only have time to make quick visits through the day.

Have a great Day....Afternoon....Evening...Whatever!!!

Bill

You're right Holly, I was just thinking the same, they must have gone for vacation. Sounds chilly at your's, here we already reached 40°C in the sun on the kitchen window. Here is a pic I just took to confirm. They say on the 12AM TV news the dryness starts to worry the farmers and fires are devasting pinetrees forest in the siyth of France.

I mean south of France...

Good morning/afternoon, everyone. Have been hanging around waiting for some image to post to abide by the Webcam thread rules. But it has been very slow on the cams this morning. The best I can do for now--dual white pickups:

Finally, a fish--albeit distant and fuzzy.

john, me too just a reminder that non webcam pics should be posted in community chat (cc) :-)

Good morning/afternoon everyone!
Thanks for posting the sunrises! Beautiful as always!! Only warmth I am going to see today is going to be in Bonaire!! Quite chilly here today, around 20F brrrrrr, what happened to spring???????
ML

Martine if your still around, are you and Jean Paul still going to Bonaire in June?

Hey, two captures from the same refresh. Someone trying to get out without being captured, and the return trip of the fuzzy fish--some kind of jacks?

Good morning all...logged in just in time to catch Charlotte's close up

Quick - someone get that big fishy - havent got the expertise!!!

oh good - glad you got Charlotte - I was afraid that, being nearly Easter, we would miss her!!

A snorkeller on south cam, and Blikje trying to sneak back from his morning sojourn.

I think thats Dr. Pepper.

Meanwhile at the gate.

barbara and angela that is dr. pepper

front door visitors!

Perhaps these divers will swim over to the camera soon? Martine I like all the names! How does the banded butterfly get to be Elwood, though?

LOL john, GMTA!

looks like jake got a hair cut for the trip


ghost fish...

And our snorkeller is progressing up towards Black Durgon.



And Jake greets the cammers.

Gosh you guys are quick!
Here's another, with Jake saying hello:

(apologies for the earlier illegal post)

Hmm, how will I ever recognize these fish, even with the reef dwellers page, if they don't pose correctly, I just get them all mixed up :-(

And again.

More snorkelers or they are fast swimmers!

They are hanging around for a bit...

Goodbye.

Censored.

Hi all,
Wow, how prolific your suddenly are ! I have been lurking alone the whole morning and afternoon, then I decided to go and read on my bed, I just pop out and you all came.
Cecil, We'll be on Bonaire from June 7th till 22nd, will you be there ? Martin will be, it would be nice to have the dinner and a dive together. We'll (certainly) stay at Divi, as usual.
Barbara, how could you mistake Charlotte and Doc Pepper, ugh ? Sorry, I ment Elwood for the foureyes butterfly, this is my mistake, Brandy is the fourbanded... Do you agree ? Can't take the decision by myself. I also thought Dick for the Barjack. I am waiting for your suggestions folks, this is OUR website, so once more, I say : rack your brains !

First chance I have had all day to pop in and say hello. Annie B.

Are they going to knock on the door.

Okay, Martine, I see you are back!! Well, as I noted I am very bad at fish I.D....now I will have to check the reef cam dwellers page when I am not awake or looking at a dark monitor... (now I am so embarrassed! ;-( ) It is a very busy day on the cams...
I like all the names but Dick....how about Jack Sprat or Jack be nimble or Jackie Chan...(many Jacks to chose from) for the Barjack??

Aha, you beat me Annie...I was having too many thoughts for Martine's fish names! What do you think?

Supplies coming in...

Any Jack is fine for me Barbara, just choose.
Hi Annie, where have you been all that time ? So busy, uhg ?
Well, let's think about something to eat. I must confess I really didn't take care of my meals this week, but I am starving tonight.

Fish name: How about Waldo, as in "Where's Waldo" fame? for any unnamed fish.

Barjackiechan?

Cathy, Waldo could be a nice name for the rainbow parrot, don't you think so ? What about Averell for the squid and named Dalton Brothers when they appear in group ?
And what about Taylor for the yellowtail snapper ?
I don't have any idea regarding the trunkfish, filefish, eagle ray, and cowfish...

Why not just jackie ?

Hi I forgot the chub...Chewie ?

Martine, Sue and myself will be there June 7-18 at the Plaza. Excellent, look forward to meeting you, maybe do a dive and take some pictures.

company's coming

Chewie, very good! How about Jack Daniels for the Barjack (some people like it straight for their woggawogga) Divers going in and time for a new thread!

Here they come!



Good morning, all.

New thread started...name game Thursday....see you all there!
